Description: Fresh 15Lbs CANISTEL/ EGG FRUITS. Actual Fruits The fruits are round with a tapered, pointed end, and can vary in size. The thin skin is delicate and requires hand-picking to avoid damage. They change from green to yellow-orange when ripe, sometimes with brown spots. The unique appearance of canistel fruit continues with the entirely unique flavor of the orange flesh inside. The texture has been described as similar to the yolk of a hard-boiled egg, hence the name egg fruit. But thankfully it doesn’t taste like that! It’s very sweet, rich, and dry, almost like a baked sweet potato, but with tropical notes of papaya or mango. A sweet, squash-like aroma is also a good way to know they’re nice and ripe, as is the texture when gently squeezed. They should be soft, like a peach or an avocado. If all you can find are firm, green ones, don’t worry. They ripen well on the counter at home so go ahead and grab a few. But be sure to let them ripen fully before eating. The unripe fruit is often bitter and hard.
