Egg Fruit/Pouteria Campechiana are native to tropical, subtropical regions of Southern Mexico and Central America, specifically Guatemala, El Salvador, and Belize, Egg fruits are medium in size, and have an oblong to bulbous, curved shape, sometimes tapering to a point on the non-stem end. The skin is smooth, thin, easily punctured, glossy, and waxy, ripening from green to a golden, yellow-orange hue. The flesh is dry, bright yellow to orange, creamy, and thick with a smooth, crumbly texture reminiscent of a hard-boiled egg yolk. The flesh also contains 1 to 4 hard, black-brown seeds and emits a pronounced musky, squash-like aroma. Egg fruits have a neutral, sweet flavor with subtle notes of sweet potato, pumpkin, mango, and other tropical fruits. The bright yellow-orange fruits are favored for their distinct, creamy texture, and the name Egg fruit is derived from the fruit’s similarity in consistency to a hard-boiled egg yolk.
