The Orange Tree. Perfect source of Vitamin C and Natural Sugars.

The Coconut Tree. The Coconut has a very tasty white juice that stays Cool and Refreshing even after hanging in the sun all day. It also has an awesome tasting meat that you scrape from the inside of the fruit.

The Papaya Tree. A properly ripened papaya is juicy, sweetish and somewhat like a cantaloupe in flavor, although musky in some types. The fruit (and leaves) contain papain which helps digestion and is used to tenderize meat. The edible seeds have a spicy flavor somewhat reminiscent of black pepper.

The Cashew Tree. This Tree has a small fruit that is used for treating sore throats.

Another Orange Tree!! One little fact in Suriname: Most Oranges are actually Green!!

The Suriname Cherry. This fruit tastes alot like the American Cherry, but it is a little on the sweet side and it turns Yellow or Orange instead of red!

This is another picture of the Cherry Tree.

This is the Mango. These fruits are everywhere in Suriname. The flesh of a mango is peachlike and juicy, the flavor is pleasant and rich and high in sugars and acid.

This is another Papaya Tree. The Papaya is also used for making fragrances.

This is the Gole Mango. It is very much like the fruit of the Cantelope.

This is the Kwasie-Bita Bush. This plant is used for treating high fevers and Malaria.
