Very unripe mamey-as in, while it's still green-secretes a white latex as defense against fruit flys (Florida Entomologist, Sep. 2001), so I wouldn't eat that. Yours looks like it was almost ripe, so it was probably less sweet and harder, like an unripe peach. Regardless, mamey has vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744734965412225855.post-74828302033401635782012-02-11T17:50:34.479-06:002012-02-11T17:50:34.479-06:00This fruit is a peewah, its a palm fruit.its a bit...This fruit is a peewah, its a palm fruit.its a bit dry on the inside you normally peel the skin off and eat it.

And, pejibayes only have one seed that resembles a little coconut, even the flavor is the same. <br />2)It looks like an unripe sapote. The difference is that sapotes are very juicy and the peel is brown.<br />Wow, this is interesting. I would love to know what it is.
