Pulled these today. Only got through peeling half of the gandule pods. I'll be handing out starfruit to the neighbors.

Looks good,
All indigenous?
What is The Gandule?

Our Star Fruit tree is not indigenous as far as I know, but there are so many in our neighborhood that no neighbor will ever take one, let buy one.

    Well. This is south Florida.... I've had gandule trees since I married my Puerto Rican wife. They grow like weeds here.....super easy. Gandules are beans from the pods you see in the bag. Arroz con gandules is a beloved Puerto Rican dish.

    The starfruit is also super easy to grow here. Matches the PR island climate.

    Getting a harvest from these 2 down here almost feels like cheating its so easy.
