What does MAMEY mean in Scrabble?
noun
Caribbean
A large tropical fruit with rough brown skin and sweet, orange flesh, grown on a tree native to the Caribbean and Central America.
The mamey tree grows tall and produces a fruit about the size of a small melon, with skin like sandpaper covering a bright orange interior that tastes something like a cross between pumpkin and honey. People across the Caribbean and parts of Latin America eat mamey fresh, blend it into milkshakes, or use it in desserts and ice cream. The tree itself stays green year round and can live for many decades, making it a common sight in home gardens throughout the region. Mamey should not be confused with the unrelated mamey sapote, though the two share part of their name and similar orange flesh.
