Posted by admin on January 26, 2010
I’m in the air force getting stationed in Okinawa japan and i know its really tropical there, i looked up some of the fruits that grow there and there’s a lot of fruits grown there that are grown in panama(where im from). but i was wondering if this specific fruit is there? itd be really great to know!! thanks (:
Here is a pictorial list of fruits grown in Okinawa. http://www.okinawa-fruit.com/
Some fruits which originated in South America, pineapple, pitaya, papaya, guava and passion fruit, grow in Okinawa.
But I’ve never heard quenepas or ginep. What is that?
“Really tropical” not really. It’s freezing here and it has been raining for like three days straight.
They aren’t called quenepas, they are called mamones (mamón), if you are a Spanish-speaker, that is what you would call them. They are only grown in tropical America. Panamá is further south than Okinawa.
I have not seen them around in the supermarket, nor does the commissary on Kadena carry them.
Here is a list of different fruit that grows around the world. I dont think it growns there though, i just did a big search. I know it grows In Puerto Rico! And I love quenepas!!!!!
