Canistel (Pouteria campechiana), also known as Eggfruit, is a tropical evergreen fruit tree that produces bright yellow-orange fruits with a sweet, dense, egg-yolk-like flesh. It grows best in full sun with well-drained soil and moderate watering, and benefits from occasional pruning to shape and open the canopy. The fruit is eaten fresh or used in smoothies, custards, pies, and milkshakes—making it a nutritious, high-carotene treat for tropical food forests.
