• • The fruit of the tree species <Crataeva tapia> known in Spanish as <cachimbo>. It has an elongated shape and is edible and sweet to the taste. It is not very visible when ripe due to its color, so it is cut while still green and then buried underground to ripen. This also helps to protect the fruit from being eaten by woodpeckers before it is cut. The fruit can be used to make a toy spinning top known as <xiga bizunu>. Once the fruit has dried and is lighter in weight, a small stick is inserted into the fruit to make it spin.
  • El fruto del cachimbo <Crataeva tapia>. Es de forma alargada y es dulce y comestible. No es muy visible cuando está maduro por su color. Por lo tanto, se debe cortar estando verde y ponerlo a madurar debajo de la tierra. Esto también evita que el pájaro carpintero coma el fruto antes de que se corte. El fruto puede usarse como trompo al cual se le llama <xiga bizunu>. Para esto, al secarse el fruto y hacerse ligero se le introduce un palito para hacerlo girar. [Spanish]
