Ok. CUPUAQU or CUPUAGU, can't read my handwriting. It looks like a melon. It is from the cocoa family! Yes. And -- it is really good for your free radicals, etc., per above.

Now, as a recovered chocoholic, I was never a mocha fan. Different thing entirely to me. Like white chocolate. An insult to my tastebuds which used to crave chocolate. The real deal. Now I do not eat sugar of any kind. Not one bite. Because one bite leads to... You know... And your waist grows larger and you can't see your feet, whatever size they are. So I'm thinking this cocoa family melon isn't, pardon the mixed metaphor, my cup of tea. Tehehe (as per Marie!)...

Worth checking out. Cures whatever ails you. Nature's aspirin in a melon. Cleans out your dietary tract and gives you nice skin... Wasn't that thoughtful of God?
