About Lulo (naranjilla)

Lulo, also called naranjilla, is a round tropical fruit with a thick orange skin, often covered in fine hairs, and green to yellow-green juicy pulp. Its flavour is sharply tart and aromatic, with citrus-like notes. The pulp contains many small seeds and is commonly strained or blended for drinks and other preparations.

The fruit is used fresh when ripe and is also sold as frozen pulp, juice, or other processed forms. Its acidity and strong flavour make it useful in both sweetened and unsweetened preparations. Processing, straining, and added sugar can change texture and composition, so these forms are not interchangeable.
