Fresh Abiu Fruit – Buy Online in the UK

Fresh abiu fruit in the UK is a rare tropical treat with a golden glow and a custard-sweet flavour. Now available for delivery straight to your door.

What is Abiu Fruit?

Abiu (Pouteria caimito) is a golden-skinned tropical fruit from the Amazon basin, now cherished across South America, Southeast Asia, and Australia. Its smooth, sunshine-yellow skin hides a creamy, jelly-like pulp that glistens like honey and tastes like caramel custard crossed with pear and vanilla.

The texture is silky and spoonable, with a few small seeds inside. In Brazil, abiu is eaten fresh by cutting it in half and scooping out the flesh, while in Vietnam it’s enjoyed chilled as a refreshing dessert.

Now, UK fruit lovers can experience abiu without travelling thousands of miles. Each fruit is carefully grown, picked at maturity, and shipped to preserve freshness, so you can taste its authentic sweetness at home.

Nutrition & Health Benefits

Abiu isn’t just exotic – it’s also naturally nutritious:

• Vitamin C – supports normal immune function.

• Vitamin A – contributes to healthy vision and skin.

• Dietary fibre – helps maintain digestive health.

• Low fat, naturally sweet – a healthy indulgence.

• Plant antioxidants – help protect against oxidative stress.

How to Choose, Ripen, Cut & Store Abiu

Because abiu is delicate, we ship it slightly underripe for safe transport. Here’s how to handle it at home:

1. Choosing: Fruit should arrive golden but still firm.

2. Ripening: Leave at room temperature for 2–3 days. It’s ripe when the skin turns deeper yellow and gives slightly to touch.

3. Cutting: Wash gently, cut in half, and scoop the translucent pulp with a spoon. Avoid the thin skin and seeds – they’re not eaten.

4. Storage: Ripe abiu can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. For longer storage, scoop out pulp and freeze in small tubs for smoothies or desserts.

Two Simple Abiu Recipes

• Abiu & Yogurt Parfait Recipe: Layer abiu pulp with Greek yogurt, honey, and granola for a healthy, custardy breakfast.

• Abiu Sorbet Recipe: Blend abiu pulp with lime juice and freeze – a tropical, refreshing dessert with no added sugar.
