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. The taste couldn’t be any more different than the delicacy we’ve been groomed to gift to our loved ones. The white flesh has a pretty delicious zingy sweet flavor, it’s hard to describe its tart, fruity, citrusy flavor with mango and pineapple notes. The seeds are the ones used to actually make Chocolate and when you bite into them, you can taste what unprocessed pure chocolate is like. The regular box contains 4 pieces of Cacao Fruits and the large box has 6 pieces of this Food of the Gods. Don’t wait, order your box of Cacao fruit today.  

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.

If you've never had Pink Guava, you are definitely in for a mega treat. We love to eat it straight out like an apple but you can slice it and have it with yogurt or as part of a fruit salad. When you open the box, the scent will amaze you and you know, the scent is a huge part of the flavor. It can be eaten in raw form or sliced as part of a salad, or even as a pie or pastry filling at your favorite bakery. As the signature flavor for many Hispanic dishes, its popular use is to make jam and sweets which will leave your senses alive and wanting more. What does Pink Guava taste like? The taste is unique and delicious like a combination between a pear and a strawberry. The fragrance of the guava transports you straight to the tropics so when you get one, before eating it, take a good sniff and you'll see what we are talking about.  **Cannot ship to California due to import restrictions**

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 6 to 8 Large Tropical Avocados. Our Regular box has 4 Large Tropical Avocados.

Longans are amazing fruits. Have you tried a Dragon eye? Not the real thing, of course, the little fruit that our Tropifruiters go crazy for. Why? Not hard to guess, they are succulent, sweet, and incredibly juicy. When you bite into the translucent flesh, it feels like it melts in your mouth. The longan is a close cousin of the Lychee and the Rambutan but they are really the only ones that look like a real dragon eye. It comes from the Soapberry tree and it's called dragon's eye due to its contrasting white flesh and dark seed. If you haven't tried Longan, you are in for a treat. If you've tried it, you know what you are in for. If you think a whole box of Longan Fruit is too much, you can create your own tropical fruit box and add longan as one of the fruits in your favorite personalized tropical mix. Order your fresh Longan Dragon Eye box today.

It's a close cousin of the lychee in flavor profile but the rambutan is sweeter. The Small box contains 3 lbs, the Regular Box contains 5 pounds of Rambutan and the Large Box contains 8 pounds!

Breadfruit is considered by many the food of the future, Breadfruit also called Ulu or Panapen and it's been a staple food in the Pacific islands for over 2000 years. Ulu is an important part of the local food tradition and folklore in Hawaii. It can be prepared like a fruit or a vegetable since it's incredibly versatile. When roasted, it feels and tastes like baked bread, hence the name. Fun facts about Breadfruit Sir Joseph Banks, a sailor who embarked with Captain Cook to Tahiti in the 18th Century famously said that if you planted 10 breadfruit trees in your life, you or your future generations would never go hungry, we paraphrase of course. It is said that the famous mutiny of the H.M.S Bounty happened because of Breadfruit! The mission of the Bounty was to transplant more than 1000 young breadfruit trees, but they arrived late. Fate would have it that in the months they spent waiting, the crew grew enchanted with the island and didn’t want to leave. Forced to depart, the unhappiness of the crew eventually turned into mutiny. So there you have it, breadfruit has a long history! According to scientists, it has an amazing future in the food security of many nations and the world. Sir Joseph Banks was right!

It's a thing, trust me. The Caimito, as we know it, also known as Star Apple, Caimito, Purple Star Apple, Abiaba, Pomme de Lait, Milk Fruit, and many more. What's going on with all these fruits with multiple names? The Caimito is a relative of the Mamey, Sapote. The caimito, AKA the star apple, is a delicious tropical fruit native to Central and South America. It's named for the star-like shape of its cross-section magically revealed when the fruit is cut in half. The fruit's skin ranges from green to purple, and the flesh is soft and creamy, with a sweet and slightly tangy flavor. Caimito trees are medium-sized and can grow up to 50 feet tall. They are prized for their beautiful, glossy leaves and fragrant flowers, which bloom in clusters and have a delicate, jasmine-like scent. The fruit is round or oval and typically measures around 4-6 inches in diameter. The caimito is a highly nutritious fruit, rich in vitamins and minerals. It is a good source of vitamin C, which helps to boost the immune system and protect against illness. It also contains a range of B vitamins, including thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin, essential for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and eyes. The caimito is a versatile fruit that can be eaten fresh or used in many dishes. It can be sliced as a refreshing snack or used to make jams, jellies, and preserves.

The Caimito tastes like sweet caramel custard, that's why it's very commonly used as a dessert, just chill and eat with a spoon. Important note: Don't take a big bite out of your caimito since you only should eat the interior fruit flesh. That pulp around the seeds is where it's at. Needless to say, don't eat the seeds either. Our Caimito is tree-ripened and hand-picked. Current variety is green and grown in Florida. Get your box today.  ***Sorry this variety cannot ship to California***

Here is a quiz for you. Do you know the difference between a banana and a plantain? Think about it, most people haven’t given much thought to this but here at Tropical Fruit Box, our staff brainiacs are always thinking about fruit so here goes…ready? The banana, you can eat raw and the plantain, you better cook. Plantains are larger, of much harder consistency, and require preparation although we hear that some people eat the Hawaiian plantain raw, but you know, to each its own. So, without further ado, for all of you plantain and banana lovers, we give you the Banana Bonanza Box! What’s inside? Manzano Apple Bananas, Red Bananas, and Burro Plantains. Here is a little about each. Manzano Apple 🍌Banana Cluster - These are like mini bananas that taste like a cross between an apple and a banana and believe it or not, are one of the most popular dessert fruits in the world. Red Bananas - No, they are not angry, they are just a little blushed. They are sweeter, plumper and some will say have a raspberry-ish finish. They are more pudding-like and have an awesome texture which you should try if you are trying to change things up. Burro Plantain - This is the powerhouse of cooking plantains. You can use them green or ripe for many dishes. It’s tangier than a regular plantain and when it’s ripe, it’s very creamy and citrusy. Definitely something to live for. This box has about 8 pounds of bananas and plantains that will help you break the boring meal regime you’ve been keeping in quarantine. We totally feel you. Order your Banana Bonanza Box today.

Red bananas are in! Aren’t you tired of traditional bananas? Well… do we have a contender for you. The beautiful and not boring Red Banana. No, this banana is not angry or blushing, it’s just doing its thing, waiting to be devoured by you! What makes them different? They have a red purplish colored exterior, their flesh color is a little bit darker with an orangish color and they are slightly plumper. Other than that, if you have a sweet tooth, you’ll love them because they are sweeter than their yellow cousins. They are also denser and juicier so we could say that they are more satisfying. Sweet, creamy but not overwhelming. Some say they are like eating a banana soufflé. When do you know they are ripe? The universal banana ripeness indicator is firmness. When they start getting softer and their color lightens, they are good to go. You can definitely eat them by themselves, use them in desserts, and they also make awesome smoothie companions since you can mix them with pretty much anything healthy and they will make it taste better. The proof is in the banana pudding, give them a try and let us know what you think.

Tamarind fruit is loved all over the world. Growing up, we just knew them as tamarindo fruit, and we thought it only had one flavor. We were so wrong! There are two main varieties of Tamarind, the sour one that makes you feel like you sucked on 100 lemons (the one we knew as kids)  and the sweet tamarind fruit that brings the best of the fruit world in a nicely packaged pod that will take your fruit game to a whole new level. Once you start eating the sweet tamarind, you can’t eat just one; it’s that good! Coming from Thailand, this sweet variety is known as “makham wan” and our Tropifruiters love it for its uniquely complex flavor that leaves you wondering… did nature just overdo itself? That’s a resounding hell yeah! What does Sweet Tamarind fruit taste like? First, you’ll notice its sweetness, it has those brown sugar, and molasses notes perfectly balanced by its tanginess. This complex citrusy undertone, combined with the sweetness, earthy notes, and pulpy, soft, and chewy texture, is nothing less than nature’s candy. The experience of eating sweet tamarind is pretty unique if you’ve never had it. First, you crack the hard shell, then you take out the seed pod covered in the yummy pulp, but before you go crazy, you need to remove the veiny-looking branches that come out easily so you don’t feel you are eating a fishing net. Once that’s done, get ready to smudge your fingers and suck the pulp out of the seeds in a ritual that you’ll perform over and over again until the whole box is gone. We don’t recommend eating all of them in one sitting, but we’ve been known to do just that. How do you eat Tamarind Fruit? You can just eat it straight out, crack the shell, enjoy, and repeat. It’s as yummy as it’s satisfying. Kids love it, and it will keep them busy for a while; just remember to take out the seeds. Use the pulp to make traditional Thai dishes like Tamarind chicken, Pad Thai or add it to your own stir fry or sauces to give them that fancy finish. Go to town with the mixology. Take the pulp and kick up your margaritas or other fancy cocktails that will leave your friends in awe of your newly found mixology skills. Do something fun today. Order your very own box of Sweet Tamarinds and take your culinary and mixology game to a whole new level. No worries, if you are not the elaborate cuisine type, they make an awesome snack or dessert as is!
