Foraging for wild edibles on the Northern Pacific coast of Nicaragua. 

Shamus was introduced to these two wild edibles near our new home on the beach.

1. Fruto de Papaturro: I haven’t been able to find much information about this fruit online other then that monkeys enjoy them. 

2. Tiguilote: known to be anti parasitic among locals and is also known as the clammy cherry tree. The berries are also known as clammy cherries or glue berries, snotty gobbles, pink pearl, fragrant manjack or Indian cherry.

The white gooey inner pulp is traditionally used to make glue and that doesn’t surprise me as they leave a latex-y film on the teeth when eaten.
