What is a Green Spanish Plum?

Green Spanish Plums (Spondias purpurea), also known as Ciruela Cubana, Jocote, Hog’s Plum, Siniguelas, or Mombin, are small, oval-shaped tropical fruits prized for their tangy, refreshing flavour. Measuring between 2 to 5 centimetres in diameter, they start green, gradually ripening to yellow or deep red.

✔ Texture & Flavour: Young green plums have a firm, slightly gritty texture and a sharp, tart taste with green apple undertones. As they ripen, they become tender, juicy, and naturally sweet with hints of mango and pineapple.

✔ Seed: Each fruit contains a large, inedible white seed that is fibrous and bitter but enhances the unique eating experience.

✔ Seasonal Availability: Generally in season from summer to autumn, though in tropical regions, fruiting can occur year-round.
