Longin or Mein

Welcome to a small but special fruit, the Longin. In Cambodia, they call it Mein. In this first image notice the small balls in the pink bowl.

It has a leathery covering, that is best opened around the equator of the fruit. Inside is a glistening thick jelly covering around its large seed that is not eaten.

We would pop the inside in our mouths and then spit out the seed. The jelly is much like a grape taste, but as you would guess, it has its own flavor. It is sweet, and takes some work to get much volume, so it kind of had the feel of a dessert past time at the end of a meal. It takes time to open each one so it is kind of like opening hard nuts after a meal in America.

Please pray with us for the Sprit of God to ignite a spark in this land.
