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.***

Definitely a treat for our Tropifruiters.  **Unfortunately, Eggfruit cannot ship to California due to import restrictions**  

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.

These red mamey fruits are from right here in Florida and are humongous!  Mamey sapote is a medium to large fruit with a thick, semi-rough skin that ranges in color from light to dark brown. 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. Within the center of the flesh, there is one elliptical seed with a glossy, black-brown hue. Don't eat the seed! What does mamey taste like? 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! Order a box, have a nice mamey shake, or just eat them with a spoon and if you have a couple left, take the pulp out with a spoon, put them in a freezer bag, and you'll have mamey for a few more times! We love to make shakes that are so good that you'll always want more, they are good like that.  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.

These things are huge! Seriously, if you’ve never had a pomelo, also called pumelo, pommelo, shaddock and Chinese grapefruit, you are in for a treat! This is by far the largest citrus with an amazing taste. What does it taste like?Imagine a grapefruit that has some orange and lemon hints, sweet but tangy at the same time. They are basically a sweeter and lighter grapefruit without the bitterness of its cousin. Just remove the rind, which is pretty thick, and eat the flesh inside. You can also use pomelos in juices, salsas, marinades, or even jams. It’s definitely a treat! This box contains 4 huge pomelos!

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. 

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. 

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!

We have Sapodilla! After a crazy season, we were able to get our hands on a small batch of the ever-popular Sapodilla, also called Nispero, Chico Fruit, Zapote, Zapotillo, and Tree Potato, which curiously, tastes nothing like a potato. As a matter of fact, comparing this fruit to a potato is our new apples and oranges. So, from now on, to show that you are an Exotic fruit connoisseur, you'll say while slightly elevating your nose, it's like Sapodillas and Potatoes. People might look at you funny but Tropifruiters and the Fruitarians are going to revere you, but I digress... What does it taste like? This is definitely a dessert fruit, it's very sweet and has oaky, light molasses notes, and the flavor of brown sugar and roasted sweet potato.

You won’t believe what fell into our lap! A small batch of local black sapote, also called black soap apple, the sumptuous chocolate pudding fruit that our Tropifruiters have been clamoring for. This is just the type of fruit that you get to brag about on your Instagram or YouTube channel. It’s that wow of an experience. It’s a close cousin of the persimmon and has an amazing flavor profile. Whenever you think the black sapote is ready to be thrown away, it’s actually when it’s ready. Why do we say that? When its ripe, it gets really wrinkly and the skin starts to look like a Chinese Shar-Pei dog (you know, the ones with the wrinkly skin) and when ready, the skin turns into a brownish and olive-green color. When you cut it, the flesh is a dark brown chocolatey color that feels like you just cut into a fresh chocolate lava cake. The texture is custard-like and incredibly smooth. It has a sweet subtle flavor, with a hint of roasted butternut squash and a honey finish, creating a delightful tasting experience that’s just incredibly hard to replicate.

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!

Malanga Lila is a beautiful root vegetable. Delicious, starchy and with a down to earth taste. How do you eat Malanga Lila? You boil it, fry it, bake it, add it to hearty soups like Sancocho, puree it, mash it, whip it and make some of the most delicious fritters that will make you ponder about your relation to food and how you could have missed this all your life.

Are brown coconuts and green coconuts the same? In a nutshell, yes. Brown coconuts are just matured green coconuts. Here is the difference. Green Coconuts: These are young and not totally ripened are full of fresh and delicious coconut water and have less meat since they are younger. They have a very similar electrolyte and sugar composition than many of those fancy recovery drinks and they were invented by God, not in a factory. How about that? Brown Coconuts: These are the more mature and instead of a majority of water, they become mostly meat and they open another world of possibilities.  Bring the tropics to your house and forget your sorrows, you too can survive on coconuts, even if you live in Illinois, just let us know so we can get enough. ***Sorry folks, Green Coconut is grown in Florida and not allowed into California.***

Mangosteen near me? Yes! Exotic Fruit Lovers rejoice! We’ve got the crown jewel, the queen of all fruits, the elusive, seductive, and much revered purple Mangosteen. It’s said that Queen Victoria would bestow a knighthood to anyone who could get her fresh mangosteen. Since UPS wasn't invented at the time, alas, no titles were granted. The Mangosteen is round and has a reddish-purple rind with a white creamy flower-shaped flesh. The flavor is so unique that it is hard to describe. People who taste these things for a living say it feels like a combination of a Lychee with strawberry and peach notes. It tastes pretty darn special. The rind of the so-called Queen of Fruits and Fruit of the Gods has been used for its medicinal properties for centuries, but the texture and flavor are what truly leave you wanting more. Getting a fresh Mangosteen is a rare privilege that we can provide, no knighthood necessary, thanks to the wonders of online fruit delivery. You are most welcome! Now available in 3 box sizes!

The Jackfruit is the largest fruit in the world. No kidding. Believe it or not, the Jackfruit is a close cousin of the fig and breadfruit. It grows in tropical areas; since we live in one, we can usually procure a few. The Jackfruits are hot. This is one of the hottest "newly discovered fruits" that people are using as a vegan meat replacement because of its meaty texture and excellent neutral flavor that will take the flavor of the sauce or spices you use. So, you ask, where can I find a fresh jackfruit near me? Well, you are in luck because, thanks to the internet and FedEx, you can order a fresh jackfruit, and we ship it right to your door. Isn't that a deal? How big are these Jackfruits? This fruit is enormous, we can only fit one in a box so we are talking about a single fruit. I held one up for a picture, and it was a total workout! So, you want to feel good and impress your friends? Buy Jackfruit, cook it, make something delicious and enjoy life! ***Please note jackfruit shipments come in about every 2 weeks***
