Giant Olosapo Live Plants (Couepia Polyandra)

The larger form of olosapo fruit from the Chrysobalanaceae family, known as Giant Olosapo Fruit (Couepia Polyandryis), is native to Mexico and Central America. These pungent pickle-shaped fruits go nicely with bananas, coconut, strawberries, and other fruits like those.

The unusual edible fruit known as olosapo matures to a colour ranging from yellow to golden-orange. In the shape of an egg yolk, the flesh is incoherent, fibrous, and semi-dry. Once ripe, it tastes mild and reminiscent to canistel. When compared to a blend of sweet potato, custard, eggnog, and caramelised sugar, olosapo has an unusually sweet flavour that is fragrant. A single tree might provide hundreds of fruits per season.
