taste experiences, feeling experiences, anyone?

heard about it
not sure what it is

seems kind of interesting

i'm pretty sure it is not an egg

i don't want to google everything up

rather hear stuff from my friends

I haven't had eggfruit in years, but I remember it having a very dense, rich, slightly dry texture, somewhere between cake and icing. It's very sweet.

If they're in season, it may be possible to order some from "Robert is Here" in Homestead, FL.

Cheers.

That sounds so strange... and so delicious. I have never seen those, either at conventional stores or the Asian markets?

I just got done eating some very good Lucama or canistel aka eggfruit.
It orgins are in the Americas Central and but grows well in most tropical or sub tropical places.

They do not ship well they will pick them to early and green so they take longer to ripen and they are not as good as tree ripen lucama like the ones i ate today.

I have been eating them for years when I can get them winter is the best time from December to about March if you find a tree good luck.
I had some luck with them this year the first batch i bought from the market was OK but not as good as when a friend of mine found a tree full also my wife's cousin has a tree and brings us some every year.

Florida is the best place to find them in the States and if you go to Mexico or any country in the Americas look hard and you may get Lucky.

Add some, and texture wise it felt like cheesecake, with a dark orange color. I really enjoyed them, and the seeds are really nice too, for decoration

I just had my first Egg Fruit last week. Interesting, but not a favorite by far. It's in the same genus (Pouteria) as all the Sapotes. The ones I bought looked like mini-pumpkins...sweet tasting, but the texture wasn't pleasant to me...kind of like the yolk of a hard boiled egg... sort of pastey-ish. I also had a brown Sapote that tasted like a cross between butterscotch and rootbeer...that tasted much better than the egg fruit in my opinion.

I'd eat it again though,

good luck, Greg

On rawreform.blogspot.com Angela made "beans and cheese" out of egg fruit recently... check it out!

hey maui greg

i dig your description " butterscotch and rootbeer" You'd eat it again? LOL ( gimme one of those!!!)

ambaryarena

sounds like a good raw burrito to me

hey dulset

the pics were gorgeous
i wonder if i ever ate one
i used to pick this fruit from a tree
and didn't know what i was eating
it looked like a little peach and had a glistening brown seed
it looks like the photo

hmmmm..... i love talking and thinking about exotic fruits ( probably because i've not had enough exotic fruits LOL so its always an adventure)

Canistel. mmmmmm I saw some this weekend at tha coral gables farmer's market in Miami. Paradise farms sells them.

I think sapote taste more like a cross between maple syrup and brown sugar. I want to make raw pecan pie with it.
