Overview

This fully illustrated book serves as a handy guide to over 100 tropical fruits from all over the world. From the more common to the rarer fruit species. Discover exotic fruits from the Amazon such as the delicious, yellow-skinned abiu, the camu camu absolutely packed with vitamin C, or the unusual, yellow-skinned custard apple known as rollinia. From the rainforests of Indonesia comes the durian, ""King of tropical fruit"", and Malaysia is home to the irresistible mangosteen, the ""Queen of tropicalfruits "". These are just a few examples of the rare fruit species saved from extinction as a result of the continuing destruction of the world's rainforests. The book lists each fruit's common name, botanical name, their native habitat, description, culinary use, nutritional value and any interesting facts and folklore. Come along on a discovery tour of the tropical fruits of the world.
