Sometimes referred to as the Maya fruit, the Canistel is said to be native to Campeche, Mexico and other parts of Mesoamerica. It is often used in ice cream, custard style pies, and other dairy-based desserts because the fruit does not cause dairy products to curdle or sour. They have a dry, yet sticky texture reminiscent of a hardboiled egg yolk and a sweet potato, pumpkin flavor. Found at Robert is Here and Fairchild Gardens in Homesead, FL. Photos by Chris Mathews.
