The box arrived much sooner than I expected and I was able to sample the fruits immediately! I found some that I loved, like the lychee, the persimmons (which I'd seen in the stores here, but only wondered about) and the rambutan, others like the Sapodilla that left me mystified and curious to learn more, and a few that I know I need to research before tackling! The cards that had pictures, names and advice were super helpful. I will definitely be sampling other fruits from your company, since I know they will be ripe, or near ripe enough to eat right away. That is not a guarantee with grocery store exotics. NOTE: the apple in my photo was NOT from the tropical fruit box.
