Taste of Tropics Delivered

When I traveled to Hawaii, I tried several varieties of local canistel (eggfruit) that were the best tasting fruit I've ever had. My order from Fruit Hunters brought this experience back to me. The fruit arrived carefully packed, and they were large mature fruits. All ripened perfectly and we're absolutely delicious. I have tried other canistel from other companies and have been disappointed. Fruit Hunters is the only eggfruit I will order again!

Excellent Egg Fruit.

I received 3 fruits in very good condition. All three fruits were unripe and hard, so stayed on the shelve (room temperature) for a week when it started showing ripening signs: changed color from yellow-green to solid warm-yellow, got soft to touch and started to smell. Initially, the ripening fruit smell reminded a tomato (surprising), but with longer ripening it changed into a sweet fruity aroma. As described, the fruit pulp was quite dry; a bit more wet around seed and going dryer towards the skin. Tasty and sweet, but not the best eating experience for one who likes juicy fruits. The texture of pulp really resembles hard boiled egg yolk. Therefore the fruit looks more suitable for processing to smoothie or something similar. The advantages of dry pulp are: a very long shelf life of ripen fruit, resistance to overripening and potential for a long storage in refrigerator.
