Quenepas 2009. The time has come!
Quenepa fruit has a tight and thin but rigid layer of skin, traditionally cracked by the teeth. Below that is the tart, tangy yellow pulp of the fruit. Each Quenepa fruit has a large seed inside of about the same size of the outer skin, the same ovoid shape as the fruit itself. Quenepa seeds can be roasted and eaten just like sunflower seeds. Oh yes! You can suck on Quenepas for hours! —
Announcing 2009 Sale!
We are starting our first harvest on 7/26/2009!
…and the last harvest? Sorry, we don’t know this.
IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT HARVESTING & SHIPPING :
THE FINE PRINTS; PLEASE READ
Quenepa trees bloom in hurricane season, summer time in Puerto Rico. Shipping of your order may be delayed due to weather conditions on harvest day. We harvest on Sundays for Monday shipping and Mondays for Tuesday shipping. These trees are IMPOSSIBLE to climb while is raining, as they can be as tall as 80 feet and become super-slippery with the rain. We only ship these fruits on Mondays and Tuesdays (and up to Thursday via Express Mail) to prevent any possible spoilage while the post office is closed on weekends. Last year we did pretty good shipping Quenepas via Priority mail, this year we expect the same. But, Priority can take anywhere from 2-5 working days to deliver. If your package takes more than 3 days in transit, we will not be able to guarantee fresh fruit delivery. This seller will make sure to add some extra quenepas to Priority Mail shipping, to replace possible spoiled ones upon delivery of your package. Last year (2008), we had zero (0) spoilage casualties via Priority Mail.
HOW TO STORE QUENEPAS, SPANISH LIMES
Wrap in a moist cloth towel or brown paper and refrigerate in lower drawer where you keep your vegetables in your refrigerator.
SORRY, BUT WE DO NOT SHIP TO:
We can not ship to APO/FPO located outside USA or any International Countries, due to International Customs regulations.
SHIPPING NOTIFICATIONS
To expedite the handling of your order, we usually print all shipping labels on non-harvest days, so that shipping notification email you received, will NOT be the day we actually shipped your package. We highly recommend everyone to Track Your Package with the Delivery Confirmation Number you received by email, this way you can more or less know when to have someone over 18 years old waiting for your package at home.
Perishable products like this SHOULD NOT be left at the post office for later pick up or outside under the sun.

Try not to feed quenepas to small children, it’s an imminent shocking hazard. Also know these will stain your clothes, kind of like the green plantain & green banana stain 😉
I agree with you 100% ! they sure are a very dangerous shocking hazard, I still remember my parents splitting quenepas with their teethm before they feed them to me. Ever since then, I’m hooked on quenepas! hahahah
Yep, it will stain your clothes….wear old cloth when eating quenepas…….or keep them rolling in your mouth until all pulp & juice is gone. Thanks for your valuable comment 🙂
