- It grows in Costa Rica, two month season in August/Sept. gotta get em when they fall, two days to eat it. Not possible to ship, but its worth getting a tree if you live somewhere tropical.

- Dont agree with the smell analysis. It's roses to me, maybe a little cream cheesey, but nothing like Wiki says in my opinion. All the raw fooders who tasted this fruit last August loved it with no complaints. Perhaps the writer for Wiki didnt have a real ripe one, which would greatly influence the odor. We picked them within hours of falling ripe on the ground and eating them fresh within 24 hours. Makes a difference with this fruit.

Mabolo fruit is ripe only in August to September in our region in Costa Rica.
A true tidbit..If you ate a different fruit every day for 100 years, you would not even come close to the number of edible fruits on this planet. Costa Rica is said to have 6% of all the worlds species of plants.

All almonds sold in California are treated with a gaz or a chemical, in both cases the almond does not sprout, it is hence dead.
Amen, Loren. So do you feel the same way about blending then? The whole fiber is still there with blending so not improving on nature as much as sort of 'pre-chewing', if you will
