Eggfruit, scientifically known as Pouteria campechiana, is a tropical fruit from Central America and the Caribbean. This fruit has a rich historical background, often intertwined with ancient Mayan and Aztec cultures. Revered for its luscious taste and creamy texture, eggfruit was not just a culinary delight; it held cultural and ritualistic significance. Over the centuries, its popularity spread to various tropical regions across the globe, enchanting food enthusiasts with its unique flavour profile.

Eggfruit finds its origins in the rainforests of Central America and Southern Mexico. Today, it is cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, including parts of Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Florida in the United States. The fruit thrives in warm, humid climates, which is reflected in its presence in countries with such weather conditions.

I received my first box yesterday, and I am highly impressed with the packaging. None of the fruits were bruised, and they were maintained at an appropriate temperature. I am enjoying the experience of trying out new fruits that I had not encountered before. Wildlife
