Date: January 20, 2008 04:22AM 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. Re: what is EGG fruit?

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. Cherimoya Love Peace and Happiness Re: what is EGG fruit?

I really enjoyed them, and the seeds are really nice too, for decoration Raw Fruit Festival [www.raw-fruit-festival.net] Health, Fitness and Fasting Retreats in Spain [www.fit-in-nature.net] Re: what is EGG fruit?

Date: January 21, 2008 08:03PM 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 Re: what is EGG fruit?

Date: January 28, 2008 07:08AM I think sapote taste more like a cross between maple syrup and brown sugar. I want to make raw pecan pie with it. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
