Soursop | Guanabana Fruit Box
from $109.00
$119.00
Guanabana Fruit
Soursop fruit, guanabana, graviola: three names for the same exotic fruit, depending on which country your kitchen learned its tropical recipes from. Tropical Fruit Box carries soursop year-round when supply allows, sold by weight in 3, 5, and 10-pound boxes because every guanabana fruit grows to its own irregular shape and size. The flavor is what everyone agrees on. Bite into ripe soursop fruit and you get creamy white flesh closer in consistency to a smashed banana than a juicy citrus, a flavor profile that lands somewhere between pineapple and strawberry, and a sour citrus finish that earns the English name. Our soursop ships from family farm partners across Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, flown into Miami and shipped the day it arrives. Free U.S. shipping covers every order, with the Arrive Fresh Guarantee on every soursop fruit box.
Why Choose Soursop Fruit from Tropical Fruit Box?
Hand-handled and shipped the same day it arrives in our Miami warehouse, with the Arrive Fresh Guarantee covering every soursop fruit box.
Soursop sourced direct from family farm partners across Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, with biweekly air shipments to Miami during peak season.
Free U.S. shipping on every soursop box, available in 3, 5, or 10-pound sizes to match how much guanabana fruit you actually plan to use.
Tropical Fruit Box was built so families across the U.S. could buy soursop and other rare tropical fruits direct from the same farms that supply major retailers.

Cacao Fruit Box
from $109.00
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.

Tropical Avocado Box
from $49.00
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.
Mamey Fruit Box
from $89.00
Mamey is the big, brown-skinned sapote with sweet orange-red flesh that tastes like sweet potato meets pumpkin pie, grown in Florida and shipped fresh to your door.
Fresh Mamey Fruit From Florida Farms
This box brings you fresh mamey fruit in an 8 or 12 pound order, and these red mamey sapote are grown right here in Florida and tend to run huge. Under the thick, semi-rough brown skin sits dense, creamy flesh in shades of orange to salmon-red, with a fine, smooth texture and a flavor people compare to sweet potato, pumpkin, honey, and a touch of cinnamon. It is rich enough to eat with a spoon straight from the skin and even better blended into a classic mamey shake or batido.
Just do not confuse it with black sapote, which is a different fruit altogether. We created this box because so many people kept asking where to buy mamey online, and ours comes from the same family farms our growers have tended for decades. Every mamey delivery is backed by our Arrive Fresh Guarantee, so your fruit arrives ready to ripen on the counter.

Best Ways to Enjoy Mamey
Mamey Shakes and Batidos

Spooning Straight From the Skin

Cuban and Caribbean Kitchens
