Given fruits' diverse sizes and weights, boxes are packed to their maximum capacity.

Attention California Customers: Due to agricultural limitations in California, orders to this state might have a limited variety but will always meet the weight criteria. Rest assured, we will always ensure that when replacing fruits not allowed in California, we will use fruits of equal or greater value. We strive for the broadest seasonal variety, and treat every box as if we were the ones receiving it.
Tropical Variety Box Pro Tips
The sampler variety may feature fewer fruit types and smaller sizes but always includes at least 7 distinct fruit varieties. Fruit ripeness varies across types. For optimal enjoyment, we recommend scanning the card within the box or consulting the list accompanying each variety box. Also, stay updated on peak ripeness by following our Instagram!

Custard Apple Pro Tips
Custard Apples are shipped just before peak ripeness and may take 3-7 days at room temperature to achieve peak ripeness. They are best enjoyed when soft to the touch. The skin's color may darken as it ripens, but this doesn't affect the delicious, creamy flesh inside. Open it up, remove the seeds, and savor the tropical flavor.

The coconut is one of the most interesting and versatile "fruits" in the world. During the Coconut's life cycle, it has different properties at different stages of maturity.
After maturing and turning brown on the tree for about 4-6 months, the coconut falls naturally, and starts to develop a sprout from the seed. When the mature coconut falls the seed starts to consume the meat and water after a few more months, which begins the sprouting and germination process. Once sprouted an airy, spongy mass forms on the inside that has a crunchy, savory exterior and a sweet light interior.
This is when coconut reaches its peak nutrient density. It has a Coconut Saltwater Taffy Flavor, and unique, spongy, foam like texture.
iHeartFruitBox sources our sprouted coconuts from local Coconut Farmers in Florida.

Coconut Pro Tips
Your coconuts arrive ready to be cracked open. Store in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness. Typically, coconuts have a shelf life of 1-2 weeks when stored properly. The coconut water inside serves as a natural indicator of freshness; if it tastes sour or fermented, the coconut may be past its prime. For extended storage, refrigerate the coconut. To open, use a sharp knife or a coconut tool to puncture and drain the water before breaking it open.

Cacao Pod Pro Tips
Your Cacao pods arrive ready to savor. For enhanced preservation, refrigerate them. To consume, break the shell and relish the succulent white flesh encasing the bean.

Typically, fresh Cacao pods can last up to a week in cool, dry conditions, but refrigerating can extend their life by another week.
