Quenepas (Mamoncillo Fruit) Spanish limes are a fruit with a thousand names. Quenepas in Puerto Rico, mamoncillos across the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, guineps in Jamaica, kenep in Haiti, limoncillo in the Dominican Republic, and mamón or jocote depending on which country in Central America you ask. Nearly every country has its own name for the fruit also known as quenepa. Despite the lime in the name, the Spanish lime is not actually a citrus fruit. From the outside it looks like a miniature lime, or close to a key lime, with skin that's a beautiful green, leathery and hard like a shell. Crack it open and you get translucent orange flesh wrapped tightly around a single large seed. The Spanish lime is related to lychee, rambutan, and longan rather than anything in the citrus family.  As for what a Spanish lime tastes like, imagine lime crossed with lychee, with citrus notes, a hint of tamarind, and the sweet-tart finish Puerto Ricans love. Mamoncillo trees grow wild in South America and have spread throughout tropical regions, including parts of tropical Africa, though the heart of quenepa culture remains Puerto Rico, the island of enchantment, where Ponce hosts a national festival every summer. We sell Spanish limes by the pound, sourced from family farm partners during the short summer harvest, with individual fruits shipped on the branch in clusters where possible. Free U.S. shipping covers every box. Why Choose Spanish Limes from Tropical Fruit Box? Sourced direct from family farm partners across South America and the Caribbean during the short summer Spanish lime harvest, with the Arrive Fresh Guarantee on every box. Each box ships with quenepas attached to the branch where possible, the way they're sold at local Caribbean and Latin American markets. Free U.S. shipping on every Spanish limes order, with no minimums or surprise fees at checkout. Tropical Fruit Box was built to make hard-to-find fruits like mamoncillos and guineps available to U.S. families who grew up eating them. You Might Also Like Longan Fruit Box: a sibling in the Sapindaceae family, with the same translucent flesh-around-a-seed structure and a sweeter, less tangy flavor. Rambutan Box: a closer cousin to the Spanish lime, with a hairy red shell hiding similar lychee-style flesh. Caribbean Tropical Fruits: the wider regional collection covering quenepas, mamoncillo fruit, and other island favorites. Out of Season Boxes: subscribe for restock alerts when the Spanish lime season runs out. Best Spanish Limes For... Caribbean and Diaspora Family Tables For families who grew up sucking the flesh off the seed at summer gatherings, our growers ship the same quenepas eaten across the islands. Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Jamaicans, and Haitians all recognize this fruit immediately, even under different names. Beach Snacks and Summer Refreshment The best Spanish limes for a summer beach snack are riper ones eaten by cracking the shell with your teeth (don't tell your dentist). Each soft shell cracks open to a tangy flesh that refreshes more than a key lime ever could, which is why mamoncillos are such a beach favorite. Cocktails, Mojitos, and Tropical Drinks Mamoncillos work well in a muddler with sugar, lime juice, and rum or sparkling water. Quenepas pulp adds a lychee-tamarind flavor most cocktail menus don't carry, and the tartness holds up against stronger spirits without disappearing.

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***

Fresh Mangosteen (Manggis Fruit) Mangosteen has been called the queen of fruits for centuries, partly for its regal purple rind and partly because Queen Victoria was rumoured to offer titles to anyone who could deliver fresh mangosteen to her table. We can confirm the fruit is special; we cannot offer knighthoods. Crack open the reddish-purple rind and you find a flower-shaped cluster of creamy white flesh with a flavor profile that splits the difference between lychee, strawberry, and peach. Manggis fruit (the Indonesian name) is native to Southeast Asia and now ships to the U.S. in limited windows.

Cacao Fruit also called Cacao pods is not what you'd expect. It's much better! Did you know that the literal translation for Cacao’s scientific name means “Food of the Gods”? The Olmecs, an ancient civilization from what is now Mexico, were the first to use Cacao Fruit over 3,500 years ago. They obviously didn’t know what they had because if they did, we’d all be speaking Olmec right now… Instead, the just the airport in Brussels, Belgium sells over 800 tons of chocolate every year but, we digress. Cacao Fruit and Chocolate Cacao Pods are these American football shape-inspired fruits and coincidentally are where Chocolate comes from. Yes, the name is a little confusing and we get a lot of people asking for cocoa fruit, cocoa, cacao... does it even matter, at the end it all comes form the cacao bean that lives inside the fruit.

If you haven’t tried Tropical Avocados, you are in for a treat. To my family, the Tropical Avocado has always been known as an Aguacate, pronounced (ah-gwa-kah-tee). This variety is a staple food in the Caribbean and Latin America where it’s been the most popular variety for generations. Tropical Avocados are also known as green skin avocados because of their shiny and gorgeous shade of green. They are a source of good fats, are hearty, yummy, and are full of nutrients. How do Tropical Avocados taste like? When it comes to taste, they are pretty similar to the Haas avocado although slightly sweeter. They are creamy, luscious, and delicious. They spread very easily and have a buttery and creamy smooth texture. They have a light yellow and green color inside, and the seed can be brittle but that’s OK. The reality is that they are very similar to the avocados you are used to. How are Tropical Avocados better? Larger in size: The first thing you’ll notice is that they are humongous compared to the varieties you can buy at the supermarket. Each Tropical Avocado is about the equivalent of 4 Haas avocados. You can prep just one and feed your whole family. Longer cut life: One of my pet peeves with those other avocados is that they turn black and the flavor changes right away, in the industry they call that oxidizing. The Tropical Avocados oxidize much slower which means that you can cut them and leave them out for longer. You can even keep one in the fridge wrapped in foil for two to three days after you cut them. How do you know when they are ripe? These avocados are ripe while the skin is still green, which is a little confusing if you are not used to them. Luckily, there is a simple way to know when they are ready. How? When you squeeze them and they give in just a little, they are ready to eat. Where are they from? These avocados are grown in the tropics on a beautiful farm in the Dominican Republic and in the off season over there, they come from beautiful and sunny Florida, where we are based. They grow with plenty of natural rain in nutrient-rich soil. They are naturally large, non-GMO and delicious. Our Large Box comes with about 8 Large Tropical Avocados. Our Regular Box has 4 Large Tropical Avocados.
