What does MAMEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A tropical American tree that bears a large, edible fruit with a rough brown skin and sweet yellow or orange flesh; also the fruit itself.
Mamee is a variant spelling of mammee, the common name for Mammea americana, a fruit tree grown across the Caribbean and Central America. The ripe fruit is eaten fresh or made into preserves, and its thick rind must be peeled away before the flesh inside can be enjoyed. Street vendors across the Caribbean sell the ripe fruit whole or cut into wedges, since the flesh does not travel well once removed from the rind.
