Stange Fruit #2: Guama
Guama (goo-ah-mah) looks like a big ugly curved string bean. Inside its hard but easy to pry open shell, you encounter a bunch of black seeds, each wrapped tight in a spider web like pulp. Not the most appetizing vision, but the spider webs are actually quite sweet! The indigenous people of Colombia’s Vaupés province make a sacred drink out of it called “cachiri”. Guama isn’t a very popular fruit otherwise.

According to my source, guama grows all year long in Colombia. Note that it’s not a very popular fruit and is generally hard to find.
