Soursop | Guanabana Fruit Box
from $119.00
This is it! We have Soursop! You might know it as Guanabana Fruit or Graviola. Soursop is the ultimate tropical and exotic fruit treasure. Native to Central, South America and the Caribbean, this exotic fruit wonder is one of our most popular fruits.
Soursops have very different shapes and sizes that's why we sell it by weight. That said, we always err in your favor.
What does Soursop / Guanabana Fruit taste like?
If you never had a Soursop you are in for a treat. The flavor profile is a creamy texture that tastes like a combination of pineapple with a hint of strawberry and a sour citrusy note. The creamy texture can be associated with a smashed banana when it's ripe and it's usually eaten with a spoon. Many of our Tropifruiters love to make smoothies or the Brazilian popular drink called champola.
Where does our Soursop come from?
We get regular Soursop shipments flown in and they sell pretty fast so if you see we don't have it in stock, come back in a few days, especially at the beginning of the week and we usually have it.
Due to its delicacy, Soursop requires special handling and will be shipped on the day it arrives in its weekly or biweekly shipment so it can get to you in perfect condition. You don't have to pay extra for this awesome perk. That's why we are the #1 Soursop distributor online.
***Please note due to seasonal soursop volumes, we are receiving and shipping biweekly boxes.***
Sweet Tamarind Fruit Box
from $49.00
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!

Underneath the skin, the flesh is soft, creamy, and dense with a fine, smooth consistency. The flesh of Mamey sapote ranges in color from orange, and red, to salmon.

The flavor of is like a cross between a pumpkin and a sweet potato, with hints of caramel and chocolate. It's truly unlike anything else you've ever tasted!

A quick mamey sapote shake recipe
To make an awesome mamey shake, wait for it to be fully ripened when the skin is soft to the touch.

Breadfruit (Panapen, Ulu) Box
from $89.00
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!

Spanish Limes | Mamoncillos | Quenepas | Guineps Box
from $67.00
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.

This is it! The Rolls-Royce, the ultra, the pinnacle, the ultimate mango variety. The sweetest, yummiest and most addicting mango ever. Finally here after a long seasonal and well-deserved break.

Fresh Sugar Apple | Sweet Sop | Anon Box
from $119.00
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.
Star Apple | Caimito Box
from $109.00
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. It is also a popular ingredient in smoothies and juices and can make a refreshing sorbet.
The caimito is a delicious and highly nutritious fruit worth trying. Whether you enjoy it fresh or use it in cooking and baking, this tropical treat will surely delight your taste buds and provide various health benefits.
How to eat Caimito
When you cut the skin, you can see the star pattern that gave it its name. 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 purple. Get your box today.

Also known as Golden Apple, Ambarella, Pomme cythere, Mangotín, Jobo Indio, Kedondong, Manzana de Oro, Tonga, Hog Plum, and a few other names. The reality is that many countries and cultures love the June Plum but Jamaicans are the ones that ask for it more often, a lot more often.
How do you eat it? Do we really have to tell you that? Other than peeling the skin and eating it like a proper fruit, people make refreshing drinks, desserts, jams and it’s served with meats, seafood, and other dishes. They are frequently pickled, so it shows their versatility.
The June Plum's flesh has a golden color, it's sweet, savory, and a little sour with some tartness and has a crispy-crunchy feel to it.

$129.00
Another victory for the Tropical Fruit Box team! We got a small batch of Mountain Soursop, those who enjoy the sciences call it Annona Montana, it's also called wild custard apple or guanabana de monte. We just like the common name, it gives it a rugged sort of feeling like you are eating something that was specially brought down a mountain, just for you. The Mountain Soursop is a close cousin of the Cherimoya or Custard Apple and of course, our very own favorite, the Soursop. This beautiful fruit has vibrant and dark green skin, is the size of a softball, and is covered with soft fleshy spines with a yellow flesh that's almost like pulp but the flavor is where it at. What does it taste like? The first thing you'll feel is the aroma, you should take a couple of deep sniffs so you get to appreciate it. Then, scoop it out with a spoon and taste the soursop-like flavor that's slightly sour and with a hint of bitterness that rounds it off quite nicely. If you haven't tried it, this is one of those connoisseurs treats, an important part of your fruit education. This box contains 8 pounds of Mountain Soursops, which is about 6 delicious fruits.
