In Season | Feijoa
Feijoa season has arrived, and we've got plenty to go around!
When you next shop with Foodbox, you'll see we've already added feijoas to your delivery so that you don't miss out on their
unique, sweet-tart flavour. Feijoas are extremely versatile and can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes. Our favourite is to
scoop out their great taste and enjoy them as a healthy snack because they are rich in vitamin C.
You might be surprised to know that there are upwards of 15 feijoa varieties out there and that the feijoa is native to Brazil,
Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina. They were brought to New Zealand in the 1920s where new varieties were developed.
This delicious seasonal fruit can be frozen and won't lose its flavour or texture. So if you can't get through them all, you can
scoop out their pulp and save them for later to use in drinks or baking. The secret is to make sure you puree the fruit first
and then freeze it to ensure you get the very best out of them.
TO STORE
An unripe feijoa can be left out for 2 - 3 days to fully ripen. A ripe feijoa should be stored in a sealed container in the
refrigerator to best retain their fragrant flavour.
TO EAT
The fruit is usually eaten by cutting it in half, then scooping out the pulp with a spoon. Once the fruit is cut, it will turn
brown quickly so be sure to use lemon juice to stop this from happening if you're not consuming it straight away.
TO COOK
Although usually eaten raw, a feijoa is also great in a pie, tart, crumble, salsa, or in your next cocktail! Feijoa adds a unique
sweet tart-like flavour that can be enjoyed in either a savoury or sweet dish.
