Good list. But still missing some others found in the DR.
zapote and mamey: Not my favorite fruits, but I did enjoy zapote shake last July in DR.
cashew apple: This is what we call cajuil. (It grows around Baní)
chupa-chupa: It resembles what we call níspero.
star apple: We call it caimito (love it!)
breadfruit: Not to be confused with what we call pan de fruta (chestnuts) in the DR. I had breadfruit in Tahiti, where it is called urú. It must be cooked. I loved it but it is pure starch, like yuca.
passion fruit: Called parcha in the DR.
