Exotic Fruit Boxes

Mangosteen near me? Yes! Exotic Fruit Lovers rejoice! We’ve got the crown jewel, the queen of all fruits, the elusive, seductive, and much revered purple Mangosteen. It’s said that Queen Victoria would bestow a knighthood to anyone who could get her fresh mangosteen. Since UPS wasn't invented at the time, alas, no titles were granted. The Mangosteen is round and has a reddish-purple rind with a white creamy flower-shaped flesh. The flavor is so unique that it is hard to describe. People who taste these things for a living say it feels like a combination of a Lychee with strawberry and peach notes. It tastes pretty darn special. The rind of the so-called Queen of Fruits and Fruit of the Gods has been used for its medicinal properties for centuries, but the texture and flavor are what truly leave you wanting more. Getting a fresh Mangosteen is a rare privilege that we can provide, no knighthood necessary, thanks to the wonders of online fruit delivery. You are most welcome! Now available in 3 box sizes!

We finally got Passion Fruit in Spanish it is also known as Maracuya, Maracuja, Granadilla, Lilikoi, and many names all over the world! In Puerto Rico, they call it Parcha, and they absolutely love it! This fruit is very special. The name of it doesn't come from where you might think. The name was given by the Spanish Catholic Missionaries in the sixteenth century traveling through the South American region where this fruit is native. They called "La flor de las cinco llagas o flor de la pasión" in English, the fruit of the five wounds since it resembled the wounds of Christ or the fruit of passion, so the name passion fruit stuck.   What does Passion Fruit taste like? This fruit packs a punch, flavor-wise, it has a tropical, slightly tart, and sweet taste with an unmistakable aroma. It's no coincidence that it's used in preparing drinks, and some countries even make flavored soda from it. One interesting fact is that Passion Fruit is technically a berry since the whole fruit is fleshy. When is Passion Fruit Ripe? This fruit is very peculiar and unmistakable when it's ripe. You leave it on the counter until it gets wrinkly; after the skin is looking a little dry with visible wrinkles, you cut it open and extract the pulp. It can last a couple of weeks at room temperature and about 30 days in the refrigerator. How do you eat passion fruit? Hopefully, with a spoon! The pulp is delicious; you can use it to make drinks or juices or just eat it with a spoon. We recommend some sweetener since it's pretty tart but it's a very special tartness that defines this fruit and makes it completely unique. Once you've tasted passionfruit, you'll love it and want more. What are some of the Passion Fruit Health Benefits? Passion fruit is high in nutrients, low in calories, and packs an antioxidant punch. It contains fiber, Vitamins A and C, and minerals such as Iron and Potassium.  Order your Passion fruit Box Today.

The Spanish Lime also known as Quenepa is a fruit with a thousand names. It’s known as Mamoncillo, Guinep, Limoncillo, Mamón, Jocote, you get the point. Why does it have so many names? We can only guess that every country that has it, likes it so much they want to make it their own. No joke. People are serious about this little fruit! The Puerto Ricans love it so much that they even have a national festival celebrating the Quenepa, which is what they call it in the island of enchantment. Other than it looks similar to a key lime from the outside; the Spanish Lime could not be more different from a citrus fruit. It’s actually a cousin of the Lychee, Rambutan, and Longan, some of Tropical Fruit Box’s fan favorites. What do Spanish Limes taste like? The Spanish Lime tastes like a Lychee that married a lemon but without the high citrus notes. It’s tangy and sweet, with a hint of tamarind and it feels refreshing in your mouth. Perhaps that is why it’s a popular summer beach snack. How do you eat these tasty Quenepas? The skin is a beautiful green that's hard like a shell but not so hard like an egg. When you squeeze it, it cracks open pretty easily. You can cut it with a knife like the civilized person you are, or you can have an adventure and open it by biting down on it which is what we do since this is a beach favorite (don’t tell your dentist). Once the soft shell cracks, remove it and you’ll see the peach-colored translucent orange flesh. Put it in your mouth and chew the flesh off the seed. The flesh is pretty stuck to the seed so you are going to have to work for it. When you are done, get rid of the seed and repeat until you've gone through all of them. When you are done and you just realized that you went through the whole box without sharing it with your loved ones, you can order another box in guilt and repeat the process all over again. Only while they last. What are you waiting for?  Get Your Spanish Limes Today!

The rambutan, also called Ngoh is a tropical fruit native of Asia. The name rambutan comes from the Malay word that means hairy and when you see one, you’ll understand. Once you peel the skin away, you'll see a beautiful white flesh that has a sweet and sour combination that's pretty unique. It's a close cousin of the lychee in flavor profile but the rambutan is sweeter. The Regular Box contains 5 pounds of Rambutan and the Large Box contains 8 pounds!

We just got a few boxes of Fresh Cherimoya Fruit, also called Custard Apple, Chirimoya or Annona.

We have Sapodilla! After a crazy season, we were able to get our hands on a small batch of the ever-popular Sapodilla, also called Nispero, Chico Fruit, Zapote, Zapotillo, and Tree Potato, which curiously, tastes nothing like a potato. As a matter of fact, comparing this fruit to a potato is our new apples and oranges. So, from now on, to show that you are an Exotic fruit connoisseur, you'll say while slightly elevating your nose, it's like Sapodillas and Potatoes. People might look at you funny but Tropifruiters and the Fruitarians are going to revere you, but I digress... What does it taste like? This is definitely a dessert fruit, it's very sweet and has oaky, light molasses notes, and the flavor of brown sugar and roasted sweet potato. You can just chill it and eat it with a spoon, it's that good! The Sapodilla is a close cousin of the Mamey Sapote, Canistel, and Caimito, also known as Star Apple. Some of our very favorites. This is a very special fruit, the skin is light brown and the flesh has a beautiful golden brownish caramel color that reminds me of the sands of the Sahara. You know it's ripe when it's starting to soften and gives slightly to the touch. You know, it feels soft without being overly soft. When it's ready, pounce! You don't want to let this one pass you by. Life is too short. The regular box contains 5 pounds of Sapodilla and the large box has 8 pounds. **Sorry California not allowed into your state.**

OK Jamaicans, we love you but stop bugging us! If we had a dollar for every time you guys have asked us for Julie mangos, we would have a gazillion dollars in the bank without interest, no joke. So here it is! We scoured the ports, interrogated importers, and some other things we are not willing to confess to here so we could bring you this sweet and tangy highly coveted mango variety. What can we say about the Julie mango? Nothing, we are not going to say a thing. You guys know more than we ever will. We give up. We have the mangos, now, buy them before they are gone!

Sugar Apple, just saying it aloud makes you want to eat a big piece, even if you’ve never tasted it before. The Sugar Apple is also known as Sweet Sop or Anón. The fancy scientists call it Annona squamosa, we started adding their fancy names because our Tropifruiters are very inquisitive. This is what you do. It’s ripe when you can pull it apart and starts giving to the touch. Grab it with both hands and use your thumbs to separate the segments. When you separate the little knobs or lobes and expose the interior, you are in for a real treat. The creamy flesh has the consistency of a custard, like the one Grandma used to make, but this tastes much better because it has a hint of a minty finish. Sorry Granny, we still love you. Remember to take out the seeds, you can do it before you eat the flesh or just put the lobes in your mouth and work out the seeds, as the seeds are not edible. Sugar Apples are super rare and cultivated in very small batches. We only get a handful at a time and they literally fly out the door. Don't say we didn't warn you! The current variety is green and from Florida and unfortunately cannot ship to California.

The stars are aligned here at Tropical Fruit Box, with Star Fruits that is. In the middle of the hottest summer we've had in forever, these Star Fruits, also called Carambola, finally showed up! They grow in tropical climates around the world, so they seem to like this heat. Go figure!You definitely want to eat them when they are ripe, if you eat them before, they’ll taste more sour and citrusy. When they ripen, they are sweet, definitely tart but no worries, their taste of apple mixed with pear and fresh crispy grape finish don't disappoint. If the edges are a little brown, don’t worry, it just means they are ready to eat and are sweeter, waiting for you to take a big bite.You could use them as garnishes in the fanciest drinks ever, add them to salads and even make the famous, Star Fruit upside-down cake. We think they should be called Star Hero Fruit since it has anti-inflammation properties, helps with digestion, helps reduce cholesterol, and has a low glycemic index. They are rich in potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C. They are also low in calories and have a high fiber content.If you don’t know why they are called Star Fruits, we’ll let you cut one and figure it out for yourself, as we know we have the smartest customers here at Tropical Fruit Box. ***Sorry, Cannot ship to California***

In Greece, they are called the divine fruit, it’s the national fruit of Japan and in the U.S. this variety is about 80% of the market. We don’t know what you guys think but the Fuyu Persimmon has something going for it. Their taste is a mixture of a rich, honey-like mild flavor that’s like nothing you’ve ever had before, unless of course… you’ve eaten persimmons :) They have fiber and vitamins that we are not going to mention because Facebook keeps blocking our listings saying that we are selling medical devices so, there...have you heard the phrase food as medicine? You get it then.

The Nam Doc Mai, or Nam Dok Mai according to Wikipedia is the Rockstar, the ultra, the most popular mango variety in Thailand. Also spelled  น้ำดอกไม้, no worries, we don’t speak Thai so we hope it doesn’t say anything dirty, but we digress. They have a very unique UFO shape, but the taste is where it’s at.

What is yellow, crunchy, crisp, and sweet? California Yellow Barhi Dates of course! They sweeten and soften as they ripen and will change color towards a brownish tone. The taste for these dates is unique with brown sugar and coconut notes. They can be eaten almost ripe, ripe, and even wrinkled but due to their lip-smacking flavor, they are usually eaten fresh. The season for these beauties is very short so take advantage of this chance to try something uniquely delicious. This box is now available in several sizes for the Yellow Barhi Dates, we'll leave the counting of how many dates per box to our Tropifruiters that moonlight as auditors.

Loquats, also called Japanese plums are underrated. It’s definitely a fruit not very well-known in the US, although it’s pretty big in Asia. The flavor is pleasantly sweet, delicate, has a slightly floral touch with a hint of peach with honey, pear and apricot notes. The flesh is firm and grape-like and it’s juicy but not watery and has a great feeling overall. They love tropical areas and that’s why they grow so well in Chile and Spain in the spring, which is curiously happening now. You’ll see that they have some light brown spots on the skin but do not fret, that means that they were grown in a sunny area. They are hard to grow down here since the birds absolutely love them so the trees need to be protected. We absolutely love them and we are convinced you’ll love them too. The Regular box contains 5 pounds of loquats The Large box contains 8 pounds of loquats    

Have you ever heard of Green Mangoes? No, it’s not a special variety or anything like that, they are just mangoes that are picked green because that’s what people want. Yup. We’ve been getting a lot of requests for Green Mangoes, a staple in Thai food for quite some time and we finally delivered! We have Green Mangoes, Keitt Variety. These Green Mangoes are definitely nutty and a bit sweet and sour and add a tang to the flavor of your recipe. They are most commonly used in Green Mango Salads because they are firm and very crisp, like a desirable green mango should be. Get Your Green Mango Box Today, you won’t be disappointed. Sorry folks, cannot go to California.

The Maru Chocolate Persimmon is by far the most exclusive Persimmon variety loved by connoisseurs and those lucky enough to have tasted it. Warning: This persimmon has been known to cause obsession. The skin color is deeper than the traditional Fuyu variety and they are just plain delicious with just enough sweetness but not overwhelming. They are also super juicy and have a nice finish with spice notes. Where does the chocolate reference come from? No, it’s not the chocolatey taste, it’s because the flesh turns brown when they ripen. People think that when the fruit turns brown it’s bad and it applies to most other fruit but not to this very special persimmon, so use this opportunity to broaden your horizons and taste something truly unique. That’s if you are lucky enough to catch them as they are probably going to be selling pretty quickly and their season is also very short!

The Achacha fruit is a treasure from the Amazonian Rainforest in the fertile region of Bolivia. I know, you’ve probably never heard of it but it’s a close cousin of the Mangosteen, the queen of fruits and it’s in good company in the flavor profile of exotic fruit all-stars such as the lychee, longan, and rambutan.Its native name, achachairú, roughly translates to Honey Kiss. Taste it and you’ll understand. How do you eat Achacha?It’s super easy to peel by just pressing on the sides or using a knife to make a cut through the side, after that, pop the top and let the Achacha party begin. If you want to delight yourself and your family and your Instagram followers, you should try the Achacha Fruit and let us know what you think.Warning – this fruit will expand your worldview.This is by far one of the most memorable fruit flavors you’ll ever try. Sweet, tangy and truly refreshing by balancing sweetness and acidity in a way that makes it truly unforgettable and it’s even been called addictive (Facebook will block us for saying that but we don’t care, we call it like it is).

Without further ado, we give you this native of the West Indies, Caribbean and Central America that will rock your world when it comes to flavor. You can enjoy it in so many ways but the most popular among our Tropifruiters, and yes, we asked, is to just chill it and eat it with a spoon. It’s that good.
