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.

White malanga is the nutty, earthy root at the heart of Cuban and Caribbean home cooking, shipped fresh from family farms so you can boil, mash, or fry it the way it was meant to be eaten. Fresh Malanga Shipped to Your Door This box brings you fresh malanga in your choice of a 5, 8, or 16 pound order, picked from the same family farms our growers have worked for generations. Inside that shaggy brown skin is bright white flesh with a flavor unlike any other root: nutty and woodsy, with a hint of black walnut and an earthiness that sits somewhere between a potato and yuca. It holds up to almost anything you do with it. Boil and mash it with garlic and butter, simmer it into a Cuban-style stew, or slice it thin for crisp fritters and chips. Malanga blanca has been a staple in our founder's Cuban-American kitchen since childhood, and it is one of those roots you cook once and keep coming back to. Every order ships with our Arrive Fresh Guarantee, so your malanga root reaches you firm and ready to cook. Why Choose White Malanga from Tropical Fruit Box? •  Freshness Guaranteed: Your malanga arrives firm with no soft spots, ready to peel and cook, backed by our Arrive Fresh Guarantee. •  Sourced Direct: Grown on multigenerational family farms that have raised the same tropical roots for decades. •  Free Shipping on Every U.S. Order: Delivered straight to your doorstep with no minimums and no added fees. •  Women-Powered, Family-Driven: Malanga is part of our lineup because it is part of our founder's own Cuban-American table. Best Ways to Enjoy White Malanga Cuban and Caribbean Cooking Fresh malanga is ideal for traditional dishes like sancocho, ajiaco, and mashed sides. Its starchy, creamy texture after boiling makes it a natural base for the recipes generations of Caribbean cooks have leaned on. Crispy Fritters and Chips White malanga fries beautifully, crisping at the edges while staying tender inside. Slice it thin for chips or grate it for fritters and croquettes, a street-food favorite across Cuba and Puerto Rico. A Potato Alternative Malanga root works as a swap for potatoes in mashes, soups, and stews, bringing a nuttier, more interesting flavor. Cooks looking to vary a starchy side find it an easy, satisfying change. Exploring New Roots Fresh malanga suits anyone curious about tropical roots beyond the supermarket aisle. Its distinct walnut-like taste rewards adventurous home cooks who want to bring something new to the table.

Tropical roots are more than a tradition for the Caribbean and other tropical regions of the world, they are part of our culture. A culture that evolved without processed foods where these tubers and roots were sliced, diced and included in every dish imaginable. Why did we include corn if it's not a root? Good question! All we can tell is that it's been a popular requested combination and it looks great in photos so, there! Besides, when you try this fresh corn, you'll never want to buy the supermarket corn again.
