Mangoseen - A.K.A “Purpa Gurp” This deceiving little monster is actually a delcious fruit! You may crack it open using either your teeth or hands. We recommend using your hands as the outer layer tastes nasty. Locals are usually the only ones game enough to bite it.

Once you break the outer shell, you will be astonished by the little white gurp inside. Usually 2 or 3 sections have a seed inside, which comes as a disappointment after biting into a seedless gurp.

They taste like sweet sweet sweetness. Under a rainbow. In an orchard full of golden vines. Much like in the above picture.

The bottom of the outer shell has a small stand out shape like a flower, giving the mangoseen a diverse range of uses, ie. as a stamp.

I hope that one day you too can share the joy of the mangoseen fruit.
