Monkey nuts!

So this is one of my favorite fruits in Liberia... Monkey Nuts. Or Litchi if you prefer. Just little red furry balls of goodness!


You pierce the skin and peel it away to find a large white grape like fruit, with a large pit in the middle. Pop it in your mouth and grind away the fruit and spit out the pit. It can be a bit sticky, but oh so good! Sometimes when we are traveling up country we will buy a whole bag off the side of the road and just dig in!
