ABIU ~ 'rare fruit' that looks like Lemon but tastes like Peach and Star Apple = delicious! ♥


Friends,
have you ever tasted the  Abiu  fruit?

Our good friend, Dra.Joyce C.,
 gave us this exotic, 'rare' fruit grown in their backyard
 and it was so delicious,
 we  (especially hubby)  promptly fell in love with it! ♥

ABIU
(also known as "Emperor's Golden Fruit")
Scientific name: Pouteria caimito 
Family: Sapotaceae
Common names: abiu (English),
caimito amarillo, caimo, madura verde, and luma, abiu, abio, abiero


Abiu  is an attractive, bright yellow fruit with a sweet, caramel flavoured, creamy-white pulp.
Abiu  fruit contains Vitamin A, ascorbic acid, phosphorous, and calcium.

Hubby loved the fruit so much,
 now he's very eager to have one or two planted in the backyard of our new home
 and has even requested our landscaper to provide grafted ones!
