If regular fruits such as bananas and apples are your usual go-to snack of choice, but you are craving a little more novelty and variety, then you’ll love exploring our easy peeler fruit box. It’s perfect for when you want to enjoy exotic fruit with minimal prep time, so you can add it to breakfast cereal or just enjoy it as a quick refreshing snack.
Here’s a look at some of the easy peelers in season right now.
Snake Fruit (Sapodilla)
As the name suggests, snake fruit has a dark, scaly skin that is easy to remove when ripe. Slice into quarters and remove the seeds, and enjoy the sweet and slightly nutty flavour and soft juicy texture for a hydrating energy boost.
Longan
Longan is from the same family as the lychee, and it is sometimes referred to as the “dragon’s eye”, due to its translucent orb-like appearance when it is shelled. It has a mild sweet and slightly musky flavour, and is also packed with vitamins A and C, minerals and antioxidants for a delicious and nutritious snack.
Mangosteen
Known as the “Queen of Fruits”, mangosteen has a hard purple shell that can be twisted open with the hands, or scored with a knife. Inside, you will find white segments of flesh, rather like an orange. The segments can simply be pulled apart and eaten, providing an elegant combination of sweet and tangy flavours.
Rambutan
Rambutan is a curious looking fruit with a hairy red shell, but within lies a delicate contrast of smooth and slightly creamy flesh, with a mild floral and vanilla flavour. It can be prised open with the hands or cut with a knife, and consumed as a snack or added to salads or breakfast cereals.
