The Egg Fruit tree grows to a medium size, not more than 25 feet, with a slender shape and a dense spreading crown. Its fruit got its name because its texture is similar to a hard-boiled egg yolk. The skin is very smooth and glossy, and the fruit can be round, oval, or heart-shaped, sometimes with a curved tip. The flesh inside is lemon-yellow or pale orange-yellow and tastes sweet and musky, like a baked sweet potato. Egg Fruit can be used in custards, milkshakes, spreads on toast, pancakes, cupcakes, and jams. It also has health benefits like boosting the immune system, protecting the eyes, and lowering cholesterol levels.
