Lulo Fruit

Lulo, also known as naranjilla, is a vibrant, exotic fruit native to the Andean regions of South America. It has a distinctive orange exterior and a green, tomato-like interior. The taste of lulo is a unique and refreshing combination of tart and sweet, often compared to a blend of lime and rhubarb. This fruit is a good source of vitamins A, C, and B, as well as minerals like iron and calcium, making it not only a flavorful but also a nutritious choice.

Lulo is typically eaten raw or used as a base in beverages. To consume, cut the fruit in half and scoop out the pulp. Due to its tart flavour, it's commonly sweetened or mixed with other fruits in juices, smoothies, or cocktails. Lulo can also be used in desserts and sauces, adding a unique tropical zest.

Lulo's distinct taste makes it an exciting ingredient for culinary experimentation. Its sharp, citrusy flavour enhances fruit salads, sorbets, and desserts. In savoury dishes, lulo can be used similarly to tomatoes, adding a bright, acidic element to salsas, sauces, and marinades. Its vibrant flavour also makes it a popular choice for refreshing, tangy beverages and exotic cocktail mixes.
