Growing Lulo Fruit

The tropical lulo fruit, or naranjilla, is indigenous to the Andean area of South America. Solanum quitoense is its official scientific name. This small orange or lime-sized fruit has a unique flavor that combines pineapple and citrus with a hint of sourness.
An outer layer of green, leathery, and occasionally prickly skin covers the lulo fruit. The meat is delicious and contains little seeds inside. Juices and smoothies, which are full of refreshing flavors, are typically made with it. You can find lulo in pastries, jams, and culinary creations in several South American nations.
Vitamins C and A, as well as potassium, are abundant in lulo. Its possible health benefits are added to its unusual flavor, which makes it valuable. Cultivated in areas with an appropriate tropical or subtropical environment, the fruit has become famous for its unique flavor all around the globe.
