Achacha

Description

Usually available during the summer months

The achacha is a highly prized tropical fruit. With its sweet, tangy, refreshing taste it adds a new flavour to the fruit bowl! The achacha’s firm orange skin peels away easily to reveal a subtly sweet-then-tart white interior. The fruits can contain one or two large seeds. Achachas originated in the Bolivian Amazon Rainforest, and are now cultivated largely in Australia.

Achachas are a valuable source of vitamin C and folate, as well as potassium, riboflavin and antioxidants. The sugar levels of the achacha are relatively low compared to other fruits.
