Achachairu

Garcinia humilis, a relative of the mangosteen from the Amazon basin of southern Bolivia, now also grown in southeastern Brazil. We export it with Matutina, our partner grower.

The fruit

Small, orange, sweet and sour

Shape

Oval, up to 6 cm long, ripening to a bright red-orange.

Taste

A mix of sour and sweet that recalls lemonade.

Shelf life

Out of the fridge, 10 to 15 days at 15 to 20 °C.

Easy to open

The peel breaks with the fingers and shows juicy white pulp around one dark brown seed.

Peel

The bright orange peel can be used as the base of a summer drink.

Grower

Matutina, a LAND partner.
