The corossol is a tropical fruit from Latin America and Africa. It is a summer season fruit, which is generally available from June to September. The corossol has an elongated pear shape and a thick and grainy skin, which varies from green to dark brown. Its flesh is white or yellow, juicy and sweet, and it surrounds a hard and bitter core. The corossol has a gentle and tangy flavor, which recalls that of pear and pineapple. Soultry is an excellent source of vitamin C and dietary fiber, and is also rich in antioxidants. It is often used in smoothies, fruit salads and desserts, but it can also be consumed alone as a refreshing snack.
