Did you know?

Known as lulo in Ecuador and Colombia, it has orange skin and green, intensely sour pulp, so it is almost always drunk rather than eaten. The figures here are for unsweetened pulp.

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.
