Tropical Fruits

For many exotic fruits, their flavour is best appreciated when just picked. While some (such as lychees, mangosteens and rambutans, all with sturdy skins) have become more readily available, they’re really at their peak when tasted close to home, as most do not travel well. One example is the exquisite white sapote, a sweet white-fleshed fruit with a thin green skin. When ripe, the flesh is soft and luscious and tastes like fine vanilla custard.
