Lulo
Lulo fruit is a large berry from the Andes that grows on bushes which are around 3 meters high. The fruit is divided into 4 parts and has yellow-orange flesh with green seeds. The taste is sour and because of that they are normally not eaten fresh but used for processed food such as juice and ice cream.

Lulo’s can be squeezed to make green juice. The juice has a short shelf life because after contact with air it quickly discolours to brown. You can counteract this by adding some juice from a lime. You can also process lulo’s into ice cream or jam.
