Pouteria campechiana
 
Canistel, also known as “Eggfruit,” is a tropical fruit with bright yellow-orange skin and a smooth, creamy texture. The flesh is dense and custard-like, with a sweet, mildly nutty flavour reminiscent of cooked sweet potatoes or pumpkin. It is often eaten fresh, blended into smoothies, or used in desserts like ice cream and pies. The fruit is rich in vitamins A and C, making it a nutritious and unique addition to tropical fruit collections.
