About Jocotes verdes
Jocotes Verdes, or green jocotes, are small tropical fruits native to Central America, particularly popular in countries like El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. These fruits, which belong to the Spondias purpurea species, have a tangy, slightly sour flavor when unripe, and a sweet and juicy taste as they mature. Packed with essential nutrients, jocotes are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, which support digestion, boost immunity, and combat free radicals. They also contain small amounts of minerals like potassium and calcium, which contribute to bone health and proper muscle function. While jocotes are low in fat and calories, their natural sugars can increase when ripe, so moderation is key for those monitoring sugar intake. Jocotes can be enjoyed fresh, pickled, or blended into drinks, offering a versatile and nutritious addition to Central American cuisine.
