Exotic Fruit Boxes

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 with a reddish and purple rind with a white creamy flower-shaped flesh. The flavor is so unique that it is hard to describe. People that taste these things for a living say that it feels like a combination of a Lychee with strawberry and peach notes. We just think 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, one that we can provide you, no knighthood necessary. You are most welcome! Now available in 3 box sizes!

The Spanish Lime is a fruit with a thousand names. It’s known as Mamoncillo, Guinep, Quenepa, 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 how they call it. Other than how it looks similar to a key lime from the outside; the Spanish Lime could not be more different from citrus. 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 them? The skin is like a shell, it cracks open pretty easily, you can cut it with a knife like the civilized person you are, or you can just have an adventure and open it by biting down on it (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. When you are done, you can order another box. Only while they last.

We just got a few boxes of Fresh Cherimoya, also called Custard Apple, Chirimoya or Annona. This fruit is a tropical delicacy as hard to find as they come. This sweet and creamy fruit needs no introduction to its fans. They chill it, blend it or just eat it with a spoon, it's that unique and delicious. The good news. We have a few boxes left. The bad news. They are going to be gone pretty soon. Get your Cherimoya Box Today.

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 from Florida and unfortunately cannot ship to California.

These are a true delicacy. The prickly pear is the fruit of the Nopal cactus. They have a floral and melon-like flavor that’s truly unique. They are very popular in Mexico where they are used for all kinds of dishes such as salads, soups, beverages and even desserts.

What is yellow, crunchy, crisp, and sweet? California Yellow Barhi Dates of course! They sweeten and soften as they ripen and will change color towards a brownish tone. The taste for these dates is unique with brown sugar and coconut notes. They can be eaten almost ripe, ripe, and even wrinkled but due to their lip-smacking flavor, they are usually eaten fresh. The season for these beauties is very short so take advantage of this chance to try something uniquely delicious. This box is now available in several sizes for the Yellow Barhi Dates, we'll leave the counting of how many dates per box to our Tropifruiters that moonlight as auditors.

In Greece, they are called the divine fruit, it’s the national fruit of Japan and in the U.S. this variety is about 80% of the market. We don’t know what you guys think but the Fuyu Persimmon has something going for it. Their taste is a mixture of a rich, honey-like mild flavor that’s like nothing you’ve ever had before, unless of course… you’ve eaten persimmons :) They have fiber and vitamins that we are not going to mention because Facebook keeps blocking our listings saying that we are selling medical devices so, there... This box contains 8 pounds of Fuyu Persimmons that are going to go fast.

The Nam Doc Mai, or Nam Dok Mai according to Wikipedia is the Rockstar, the ultra, the most popular mango variety in Thailand. Also spelled  น้ำดอกไม้, no worries, we don’t speak Thai so we hope it doesn’t say anything dirty, but we digress. They have a very unique UFO shape, but the taste is where it’s at. They are sweet and non-fibrous so keep the dental floss in the bathroom cabinet while you savor and enjoy the beautiful aroma that will fill your house with happiness and a hint of snobbishness since, after all, you got exclusive Thai mangos shipped directly to your house.

The Achacha fruit is a treasure from the Amazonian Rainforest in the fertile region of Bolivia. I know, you’ve probably never heard of it but it’s a close cousin of the Mangosteen, the queen of fruits and it’s in good company in the flavor profile of exotic fruit all-stars such as the lychee, longan, and rambutan.Its native name, achachairú, roughly translates to Honey Kiss. Taste it and you’ll understand. How do you eat Achacha?It’s super easy to peel by just pressing on the sides or using a knife to make a cut through the side, after that, pop the top and let the Achacha party begin. If you want to delight yourself and your family and your Instagram followers, you should try the Achacha Fruit and let us know what you think.Warning – this fruit will expand your worldview.This is by far one of the most memorable fruit flavors you’ll ever try. Sweet, tangy and truly refreshing by balancing sweetness and acidity in a way that makes it truly unforgettable and it’s even been called addictive (Facebook will block us for saying that but we don’t care, we call it like it is).

The Maru Chocolate Persimmon is by far the most exclusive Persimmon variety loved by connoisseurs and those lucky enough to have tasted it. Warning: This persimmon has been known to cause obsession. The skin color is deeper than the traditional Fuyu variety and they are just plain delicious with just enough sweetness but not overwhelming. They are also super juicy and have a nice finish with spice notes. Where does the chocolate reference come from? No, it’s not the chocolatey taste, it’s because the flesh turns brown when they ripen. People think that when the fruit turns brown it’s bad and it applies to most other fruit but not to this very special persimmon, so use this opportunity to broaden your horizons and taste something truly unique. That’s if you are lucky enough to catch them as they are probably going to be selling pretty quickly and their season is also very short!

Loquats, also called Japanese plums are underrated. It’s definitely a fruit not very well-known in the US, although it’s pretty big in Asia. The flavor is pleasantly sweet, delicate, has a slightly floral touch with a hint of peach with honey, pear and apricot notes. The flesh is firm and grape-like and it’s juicy but not watery and has a great feeling overall. They love tropical areas and that’s why they grow so well in Chile in the spring, which is curiously happening now. You’ll see that they have some light brown spots on the skin but do not fret, that means that they were grown in a sunny area. They are hard to grow down here since the birds absolutely love them so the trees need to be protected. We absolutely love them and we are convinced you’ll love them too. The Regular box contains 5 pounds of loquats The Large box contains 8 pounds of loquats   ***Cannot ship to California***

Oro Negro Avocados from Florida are literally Black Gold. That's the translation to English and when you taste the small-batch crop of this exclusive avocado, you'll be wanting more of this rich, buttery, and appropriately named avocado.

Order a box of Oro Negro today, try it and let us know in the reviews how you feel.

Big NO, we disagree! The Red Custard Apple is NOT the ugly duckling of the anona family. As a matter of fact, this delicious variety is very special, rare, and worthy of its own box here at TFB so…there! Without further ado, we give you this native of the West Indies, Caribbean and Central America that will rock your world when it comes to flavor. You can enjoy it in so many ways but the most popular among our Tropifruiters, and yes, we asked, is to just chill it and eat it with a spoon. It’s that good. Otherwise, prepare yourself to experience fruit nirvana when you pull it apart and it reveals the beautiful aromatic sumptuous flesh with the traditional creamy-custardy consistency. You can’t go wrong with this. Get Your Small Batch Red Custard Apple Today while it lasts.
