About Egg Fruit Plant
Pouteria campechiana (commonly known as the
canistel) is an evergreen tree native to, and cultivated in, southern Mexico,
Belize, Guatemala, and El Salvador. It is cultivated in other countries, such
as India, Costa Rica, Brazil, the United States, the Dominican Republic,
Australia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and the
Philippines. The edible part of the tree is its fruit, which is colloquially
known as an egg fruit.
The canistel grows up to 10 m (33 ft) high, and
produces orange-yellow fruit, also called yellow sapote, up to 7 cm (2.8 in)
long, which are edible raw. Canistel flesh is sweet, with a texture often
compared to that of a hard-boiled egg yolk, hence its colloquial name
"eggfruit". It is closely related to the lucuma, mamey sapote, and
abiu.
