About Cocona

Cocona is the edible fruit of a South American plant, commonly eaten fresh or used in cooked foods and beverages in parts of its growing region. It is a distinct fruit, not a type of coconut, despite the similarity of the names.

The fruit is generally round to oval, with smooth skin that may be yellow, orange or reddish when ripe. Its juicy flesh has a tart, mildly fruity flavour and contains seeds; fruit size, colour and flavour vary with cultivar and ripeness. It may be encountered fresh or processed.
