Known as achachairu in Bolivia, a name meaning honey kiss in the local Guarani language. The orange skin peels off by hand to reveal white, refreshingly tart flesh similar to mangosteen.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
