What does GENIP mean in Scrabble?
noun
Caribbeanbotany
A small tropical tree, known in English as Spanish lime, that bears clusters of round green fruit with sweet-tart, jelly-like flesh around a large seed.
This tree grows widely across the Caribbean and parts of Central and South America, where its fruit is a common roadside snack sold in bunches during the summer season. People eat genip by biting a small hole in the thin green skin and sucking out the soft orange or yellow pulp, then spitting out the large central seed. Because the fruit does not travel or store well once picked, it stays mostly a local and regional treat rather than an export crop found far from where it grows. Different islands and countries know the same tree under other names, including quenepa, mamoncillo, and Spanish lime.
