Abiu fruit

The Abiu is a soft, yellow fruit with sweet transparent flesh. Its yummy flavor is evocative of creamy sweet, succulent flesh which tastes like Creme Caramel and make other desserts.

The fruit is well thought-out a delicacy for those who can grow it productively, and it thrives in warm subtropical and tropical circumstances. Round to oval in shape, every now and then sharp, with smooth bright yellow skin. A real taste delight when eaten slightly chilled.

Cut the fruit in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Best eaten chilled. Avoid the exude latex secure to the skin. The Abiu has low acidity, so the adding of a little lime juice will enhance the flavor. Mainly eaten fresh by them, soon after cutting as the rind discolors on contact to the air.

It is inhabitant to South America and can be established growing wild all the way from side to side much of Amazonia. In Brazil the soft tissue from the plant is used medicinally, to relieve coughs and bronchitis. Of course, most people love the fruit's flavor, which is improved when eaten somewhat chilled.
