Fruit from Bahamas?

I was just in the Bahamas, and around the Straw Market in Nassau local people were selling these tiny green hard shelled fruits. What are they called???? I'm trying to figure out what they were. They have a green shell that you bite on and inside is a orange colored fruit with a large seed. They told me what it was, but now I forget...

Guinep (Chennette, Akee, Canep, Chenep, Kenip, Mapo, Skinip, Spanish Lime, Tjenn?t)



chennette This fruit has a rough but thin skin with soft jelly-like flesh. The slightly tart guinep grows in bunches and are usually eaten a small bunch a time. The pulp is used, juiced with limes and/or ginger to make a refreshing drink
