Dance the Achacha!


The wonderfully named Achacha is an exotic tropical fruit related to the mangosteen. It has a sweet, tart white flesh similar to that of sorbet, a soft seed and a thick protective skin.

A native of the Amazon Basin in Bolivia, it had not been grown anywhere else until seeds were planted in North Queensland eight years ago.

The season runs from December through to early March.

Achacha is excellent to use in icecream, sorbet, jams, sauces, drinks and salads.

If you'd like to try an Achacha visit the Farmers Market in Brisbane's CBD. Wholesale enquiries can be directed to Romeos at the Brisbane Market, Rocklea.
