According to our guide at the Guachimontones, these berries/nuts/things are used to make copal, a traditional incense used in Mexican rituals like the Day of the Dead por ejemplo. Although something may have been lost in the translation… Pretty though aren’t they.
uuuuhhhh me like it! 😀
really beautiful- especially the shades of light, but are they as delicious as hazelnuts? Are they as big as limes? What does the inside look like?

I think they’re poisonous, mum… but they’re the same size as hazelnuts. They’d a thin green layer on the outside and a hard nutty centre…
