Achacha, has a sweet, tangy, tropical flavor that's often described as a mix between mangosteen and lemonade. The translucent, juicy pulp has a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, with subtle hints of apricot, peach, and passion fruit.
The flavor is more refreshing and less cloyingly sweet than mangosteen, making it super addictive — especially when eaten chilled. The rind is also edible in small amounts and can be steeped into drinks to make a tart, antioxidant-rich tea.
Achachairu is one of the best-tasting Garcinias out there — and surprisingly hardy.
