Spanish fruit seller manages to sell Spanish tamarinds: "It has been a challenge to achieve it".

A young Spaniard who has a fruit-selling business in Madrid has started to market Spanish limes in his shop, after making a great effort to source them.

The TikTok Fruit Vendor, as he calls himself on his TikTok account, shared a video showing clusters of small fruits. The young man confessed that he was not familiar with it, but decided to buy it to please many of his customers who requested it.

"It has been a struggle to get it, they don't allow this product into Europe and finally we have it here. Look at this wonder," he said before trying it and savoring its sweetness.

Hundreds of Internet users from Latin America living in Spain commented that they miss that small fruit that is abundant in their countries and asked in which other city, besides Madrid, it can be found.

The TikTok fruit seller usually shares videos where he shows off to his followers the fruits he offers, many of which are considered exotic to Europeans.

On one occasion, he tried to buy a soursop, but his father did not let him because he said it was too expensive.

Another day, he ate a mamey for the first time, a product that he said "was difficult for him to find".

"It's sweet, with a texture like papaya, but with a much more intense flavor, and super pleasant, very juicy. Good discovery, family," he expressed in a video.

Last September, a Spanish tourist who traveled to Cuba was surprised to discover mamoncillos.

"I have never seen this in my life!" confessed Jesús Sánchez (@jesusansal) in a video shared on his TikTok account.

Jesús recounted that he went to the beach and the sand was full of the shells, and later he bought a bunch on the street for 100 pesos. After peeling one and trying it, he acknowledged that it was very good, although he was bothered by the "enormous" seed.

Hundreds of Cubans commented on the post, many of them felt outraged to see that a few small mangoes cost 100 pesos, an unaffordable price for most people and a reflection of the inflation that the country is experiencing.

The mamoncillo is a tropical fruit that is becoming increasingly scarce in Cuban markets.

Just like tamarind, Cuban almond, soursop, or anon, it can practically only be eaten if a family member or friend has a good plant in the countryside. When it reaches the city, it has quite high prices.
