@potato said in Best tropical fruit?:
@pswany Forget where I found this RP quote but he once had this to say about the safest fruits:
"Soursop (corossol), lychee, longan, guava, papaya, pawpaw, sapota, guanabana. Some frozen and canned fruits are good; applesauce, soursop, guanabana, longans, and lychees for example. "
Asian grocery stores have canned lychees and they are absolutely delicious. Protip if you go to a Hispanic grocery store, the frozen fruit section should have "Goya Fruta" frozen fruit pulp packs where you can find many of the above tropical fruits. Some of them have ascorbic acid or whatever though. Ive made guava Jello out of the Goya pulp and it slaps
They sell the Goya Fruta at large chain supermarkets where I live. I’ve been getting them for close to 20 years—they have the best frozen graded coconut for making fresh coconut milk and cream—and just last month, I bought the guava and papaya and was bummed when I turned the packages around and saw that they now have preservatives. They used to be 100% fruit.
As per the thread title, my favorite tropical fruit is hands down coconut. My other favorites include:
• Banana, especially the mysore variety
• Cherimoya
• Jackfruit
• Lychee
• Mango, especially the ataulfo variety
• Mangosteen
• Passion fruit, especially the more floral, sweeter varieties
