Fun Fact: Achacha, also known as Achachairú or Garcinia humilis, is an exotic tropical fruit relative of the mangosteen, boasting a captivating balance of sweet and tangy flavors!
Achacha aka Achachairú hails from the Amazon Basin of Bolivia, and has been cherished for centuries by the indigenous people for its delightful taste and nutritious properties. At iHeartFruitBox, we take pride in bringing the best Achacha, straight from eco-friendly farms that emphasize responsible agricultural practices.
The Achacha fruit is typically orange when ripe, with a tough outer skin that hides the delicate, juicy flesh inside. Its flavor is a fascinating blend of sweetness with a hint of tanginess and tropical notes. Achacha can be relished as a fresh snack, tossed into fruit salads, or used to create exotic sorbets and juices.
Achacha is not just a treat for the palate but is also packed with nutrients. It is rich in vitamin C, which is vital for a robust immune system, and contains potassium and dietary fiber which contribute to heart health. To find out when Achacha is in season, consult our SEASONAL GUIDE.

Achacha (ACHACHAIRÚ) Pro Tips
Achacha fruits are picked when they are slightly underripe and will ripen during transit. They are ready to eat when the skin turns a vibrant orange color and feels slightly yielding to the touch. Some people enjoy Achacha when it’s slightly underripe, for a more tangy experience, while others prefer them fully ripened for a sweeter taste. The skin is not edible, but the fruit can be easily opened by pressing it until it cracks, allowing you to enjoy the succulent flesh inside.
