What part of Trinidad is this grown? I've never seen this fruit before in all my years living in Trinidad.

Dianne is correct!! It is purple inside. The fruit on display is not the Caimette I grew up with and loved. What has happened to the fruits of my childhood? Development is destroying our national agricultural treasures.
Oh God! Dis ting making meh hungry! LOL.
