Low Sugar Tropical Fruits

Known as aguacate in kitchens across the Caribbean and Latin America, the tropical avocado tastes a lot like Hass, only a touch sweeter, with smooth light yellow-green flesh that spreads like butter. It stays green when ripe, so skip the color check and give it a gentle squeeze; a little give means it's ready. Cut flesh browns more slowly than many avocados, and a half wrapped in foil keeps in the fridge for two to three days. Ours grow on a farm in the Dominican Republic, and during its off season they come from Florida, where we're based. This box brings you four large tropical avocados in the Regular box, or about eight in the Large. Every order ships with our Arrive Fresh Guarantee, so your avocados arrive whole and unbruised.

Best Ways to Enjoy Tropical Avocados Guacamole for a Crowd Mash one tropical avocado with lime juice, salt, onion, and cilantro, and you have enough guacamole for a full table. The creamy, slightly sweet flesh blends smoothly and holds its color longer, so the bowl still looks fresh halfway through the party. Avocado Toast and Breakfast Bowls Spread thick slices on warm toast with a pinch of flaky salt, or fan them over eggs, rice, and beans. Since a single fruit goes a long way, one avocado can cover breakfast for the whole family on a busy weekday morning. Sliced into Salads and Sandwiches Cube the buttery flesh into green salads, chopped salads, and grain bowls, or layer slices into sandwiches and wraps. Wrap the leftover half in foil and refrigerate it, and it stays ready for tomorrow's lunch for up to three days. A Natural Pick for Hass Fans If you already love Hass avocados, the tropical avocado gives you a familiar creamy texture with a sweeter, milder taste and far more fruit per piece. It suits big families, meal preppers, and anyone who goes through avocados quickly.

A lime that feels heavy for its size is full of juice, and that tart, fragrant juice is what makes a margarita, a pot of black beans or a plate of tacos come alive. Zest the peel first for extra aroma, then squeeze the rest over grilled fish, ceviche, salads or a bowl of fresh guacamole.  Whole limes keep up to a week on the counter and up to a month sealed in a bag in the fridge, and they freeze well for three to four months, so stocking up on bulk limes is an easy call. This box brings you fresh limes in Small (3 pounds), Regular (5 pounds) and Large (8 pounds) sizes. Every order ships with our Arrive Fresh Guarantee, so your limes arrive firm and full of juice. Why Choose Limes from Tropical Fruit Box? Freshness Guaranteed: Your limes arrive firm, fragrant and full of juice, backed by our Arrive Fresh Guarantee. Sourced Direct: We work with family farm partners in tropical growing regions, and every box ships out from our home base in Miami. Free Shipping on Every U.S. Order: Delivered straight to your doorstep with no minimums and no added fees. Women-Powered, Family-Driven: Our women-powered family business added this box by popular demand, because our Tropifruiters wanted limes on hand all year. Best Ways to Enjoy Limes Margaritas and Cocktails Fresh lime juice is the backbone of a great margarita, mojito or daiquiri, and bottled juice simply can't match it. Squeeze a batch before guests arrive, keep a bowl of wedges on the bar and let everyone garnish their own glass. Ceviche and Seafood Lime juice brings the bright acidity that ceviche depends on, and it lifts grilled shrimp, fish tacos and seafood stews too. Toss raw fish with plenty of lime, onion, chili and cilantro, then serve it cold with tostadas or chips. Guacamole, Salsa and Marinades A squeeze of lime keeps guacamole tasting fresh and balances the heat in salsa. Mix the juice with garlic, oil and spices for a quick marinade that adds bright flavor to chicken, steak or vegetables before they hit the grill. A Natural Pick for Home Bartenders and Cooks If you go through limes faster than the grocery store restocks them, a full box keeps your kitchen covered. It suits home bartenders, taco-night regulars and anyone who squeezes lime over nearly everything on the plate.

Green coconuts, often called water coconuts, are picked young while the shell is smooth and the inside sloshes with light, faintly sweet water, then shipped fresh from Florida to your door in boxes of 3 or 4. Fresh Green Coconuts, Heavy with Sweet Water This box brings you fresh green coconuts in sets of 3 or 4, grown in Florida at local family farms and harvested young, right when the fruit the fancy scientists call Cocos nucifera holds the most water it ever will. Each coconut arrives smooth, green, and heavy for its size, and a gentle shake rewards you with the slosh of the light, faintly sweet water inside. Cut away the top, punch through the inner shell, drop in a straw, and drink it chilled. Slightly more mature green coconuts also hide a thin layer of soft, jelly-like flesh you can scoop with a spoon. Unlike brown coconuts, which trade most of their water for firm meat, green coconuts are all about the drink.  Every order ships with our Arrive Fresh Guarantee, so your green coconuts arrive heavy and ready to crack. ***Sorry folks, Green Coconut is grown in Florida and not allowed into California.*** Why Choose Green Coconuts from Tropical Fruit Box? •  Freshness Guaranteed: Your green coconuts arrive heavy with water and ready to open, backed by our Arrive Fresh Guarantee: get it fresh or we'll make it right. •  Sourced Direct: Grown in Florida at local family farms, where growers with generations of expertise pick each coconut at peak water content. •  Free Shipping on Every U.S. Order: Delivered straight to your doorstep with no minimums and no added fees. •  Women-Powered, Family-Driven: Tropical Fruit Box is a women-powered small business built on our family's 40-year produce legacy, shipping the freshest tropical fruit to Tropifruiters nationwide. Best Ways to Enjoy Green Coconuts Chill and Sip Straight from the Shell Chilling your green coconut for a few hours before opening turns it into the most refreshing drink in the house. Cut open the top, drop in a straw, and sip the light, faintly sweet water directly from the shell. Scoop the Soft Coconut Jelly Scooping the jelly is the reward waiting after the last sip. Slightly more mature green coconuts line their walls with soft, spoonable flesh, so split the shell open and run a spoon around the inside for a tender treat. Blend the Water into Smoothies Blending green coconut water into smoothies gives them a naturally sweet, hydrating base without anything from a carton. Pour it over tropical fruit and ice, or freeze it into cubes that chill your drinks without watering them down. A Natural Pick for Coconut Water Fans Fans of bottled coconut water owe themselves the real thing. If a carton already lives in your gym bag or your morning routine, sipping straight from a fresh green coconut is the version every bottle is trying to imitate.
