Bromelia cf. pinguin
« on: November 17, 2014, 09:05:44 PM »
Hi there

found some fruit on the market here in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) and i think they might be Bromelia pinguin. Fruits are easy to peel - crunchy like a cucumber, aromatic and acidic with hints of green appel, banana and ananas. Ate two of them and found the acid somewhat pungent.
They might make a nice fruit punch ...

Is anybody familiar with that fruit and therefore able to confirm/refute my preliminary ID?
