Star Apple – Caimito (Cainito) Box

Important Info: This box will most likely contain purple star apple and possibly some green star apple if it is available. If you want to ensure you get green star apple, click here! 

Origin: Star Apple originates in the West Indies and Central America. Our Star Apple is grown on small sustainable farms here in South Florida!

Flavor Profile: This purple or green skinned fruit has a super sweet, white, juicy flesh on the inside, and when cut in half resembles the shape of a star!

How To Eat: We ship Star Apple slightly unripe to ensure they arrive safely. Wait until it is squeezable before eating, some may already be ripe when you get them, and some may need some time to ripen. The skin of a star apple is often covered in latex and is not edible. The pulp around the seeds is the part you eat, it tastes sweet and refreshing, similar to an Abiu. 

First come first serve, any orders that can’t be shipped this season will be reserved for next season.

The total weight of each box varies depending on the size, shape, and mass of the fruit: 

• Small Box

   contains up to 3-5 pounds

• Large

   Box

   contains up to 8-10 pounds

• Extra Large Box

   contains up to 16-20 pounds

• Bulk Box

   contains up to 34-40 pounds

We ALWAYS recommend ordering a LARGE BOX for the best value, when compared to a Small Box. Because shipping, handling, and delivery are so expensive per package, the Large Box will contain more fruit and ultimately a better value.
