The quenepa is a fascinating and nutritious tropical fruit known by many names, including Spanish lime, ackee, genipe, limoncillo, mamoncillo, and honeyberry. This small, juicy fruit offers a distinctive flavor, often described as a mix between lime and lychee.

Despite its name suggesting a citrus connection, the quenepa isn’t part of the citrus family. However, it shares a similar tropical habitat, growing abundantly in the Caribbean and South American climates.
