Biggest Darn Peapod We've Ever Seen!

Every trip to the Feria (open vegetable/fruit market) exposes us to a new strange fruit or vegetable. This weekend's test-food was the Guaba. Guaba fruit is a long green pod-type shell - about a foot and a half in length- which may be split lengthwise to show a series of small puffy white pulpy flesh coated black seeds. This white puffy pulpy flesh is sweet and easy to eat and comes easily off the seeds. The seeds remind us of smooth beach rocks and are super slippery...kinda nice to slide around in your mouth! They are very interesting and taste really good!
