Hi All,
Hubby found these for me. Here is what I know -
Not from a palm (that is the extent of his tree knowledge).
1 inch diameter. Looks lsimilar to dried raspberry. Black in color.
Mayans used it as medicine.
Dried, hard, lightweight, smells like coffee or toffee.
Nothing inside so I am thinking it is an aggregate fruit and each drupelet is a seed or contains a seed.
Drupelets have no taste, but are quite dried up.
Ideas???
Thanks!!
Carolyn
