I do not know if they are
edible, so it’s going nowhere near my mouth.
The kids in Cedros used these to
play cricket on the beach using this as their ball back in the day and they
locally named it “gru gru nut”. My
mother says that it comes washing down with the river. So it’s not grown on the beach like the
popular cocoplum/hicaco/fat pork. I didn’t
feel the consistency but she says it is dry and hard. After a shower of rain came down they looked
deep purple and not as outwardly white as in the photograph.
They were stacked by my
mother and kids on a ledge as she was explaining to them how she played with it
as a child.
