Canistel is a fruit that is also known as Egg fruit. This latter name is because this fruit tastes exactly like the sweetened yellow (yolk) of the egg.
Canistel is loaded with niacin that takes care of bad cholesterol. We have this tree in our garden. One needs to be alert and harvest the fruit at the right time as otherwise it cracks on the tree itself as can be seen in the photo.
Many desserts and drinks can be prepared with Canistel and milk shake is one of them

Never seen this before, it is a beautiful fruit, thanks for sharing it is very interesting
There are many recipes using this fruit
Maybe I saw it at a discount .. I haven’t tried it yet, dear Grace
I am not sure if you will like it unless you prepare something with it
Canistel, I will remember that name because I am fond of foreign fruits.
They will surely grow where you live.
Another new fruit I have learned about!
I just planted this sapling and did not know what it would yield.
Haven’t heard or seen this fruit… can’t imagine a fruit that taste like egg yolk … hmm…
And that too a sweetened yolk!! (lol)
I think i have seen somewhere this one and even tasted as well
I like the taste but not the smell.
This fruit is totally new to me. Thanks for posting.
It was new to me too until I got a sapling and waited for it to yield
