Fruit of the Month: Guaba

It's not everyday that you can slurp white fuzz out of a foot-long seedpod – unless you're in Costa Rica! This delicacy is called pacay and is known as guaba in Costa Rica (not to be confused with guava).  Thanks to its sweet and velvety texture, it's also called the "ice cream bean."
