Egg Fruit is a tropical fruit commonly referred to as Canistel. Its named egg fruit because the consistency of inner flesh when ripe resembles that of a hard-boiled egg yolk. It is a member of the Sapotaceae Family and a close relative of the more popular tropical fruit, Sapota. Egg fruit is also sometimes referred to as yellow sapote. Egg Fruit is rich in niacin, iron, calcium, beta-carotene and ascorbic acid.

Fruits are oblong in shape. Although some fruits can vary in shape, some with a straight pointed end others curved at the tip. When ripe, the Egg fruit turns a golden-orange color and occasionally exhibits rusty brown blotches, which is no indication of the inner flesh’s quality. It contains a few hard black seeds.

We bring to you egg fruits from the farms of Justin from Gudalur. Justin is an ardent follower of natural farming. He also works closely with natural farmers in Nilgiris to propagate natural farming in the region. Without using chemical fertilizers he has grown a mini fruit forest with fruits like Jackfruit, Avocado, Coconuts, Black pepper in around 2 acres of land in Gudalur.

Ripe egg fruit can be enjoyed on its own or can be used in sweet baking applications as a pumpkin-like ingredient. The pureed flesh may be added into custards, ice creams, bread, pancakes, smoothies, milk shakes or made into jams and marmalades. The Egg Fruit is a central ingredient in recipes for vegan cheesecake, eggnog, deviled eggs and even cheese.

Fruit delivered will be at varying stage of ripening based on your delivery date. When ripe, fruit turns slightly soft just like avocado.
