Bunchosia glandulifera
This unique tropical fruit features small, orange-red, oval-shaped fruits with creamy, sweet pulp that tastes remarkably like peanut butter. The fruit grows on a compact, evergreen tree that typically reaches 3-5 meters in height, making it manageable for home gardens. The tree is hardy and low-maintenance, producing fruit within 1-2 years of planting. Peanut Butter Fruit is ideal for fresh eating, blending into desserts, or adding to smoothies for a naturally nutty twist.
