#ingaspectabilis

The guama (Inga spectabilis) are growing quite well. Special thanks to a dear friend who provided me with locally grown fresh fruit. Looking forward to planting these out. The pulp, to me, tastes like sugarcane but feels like a marshmallow. I’m sure the kids are going to love it! ・・・ #growninhaiti #guama #guamamachete #icecreambean #ingaspectabilis #haiti #ayiti #reforestation #notrogenfixing #edible #foodforest #agroforestrey #foodsecurity #sustainablefoodsystems #diversity #variety #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides https://www.instagram.com/p/CEG6TD6lXpv/?igshid=umz1hd6c255r

Quite interesting. Tastes somewhat like sugar cane with a cotton candy like feel. The more I eat them, the more I appreciate them. These seeds are definitely getting added to the nursery. ・・・ #growninhaiti #guaba #guamamachete #ingaspectabilis #mimosaceae #fruit #tropicalfruit #seedharvest #foodforest #reforestation #nitrogenfixing #agroforestry #foodsecurity #plantmoreseeds #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides #diversity #variety #gottaplantthemall #haiti #ayiti https://www.instagram.com/p/CDlwqF3Ffa-/?igshid=1at7khpxegurf

And they say it’s not the size that matters 😏 This interesting fruit is called guama machete (Inga spectabilis). Native to these island and South/Central America. The pulp of this ripe fruit is eaten fresh or made into milk shakes and juices. ・・・ #growninhaiti #guaba #guamamachete #ingaspectabilis #mimosaceae #fruit #tropicalfruit #seedharvest #foodforest #reforestation #nitrogenfixing #agroforestry #foodsecurity #plantmoreseeds #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides #diversity #variety #gottaplantthemall https://www.instagram.com/p/CDlqoU6lrjN/?igshid=16s1e9on75osr
