Page title[edit]

This should be moved back to the common name, Canistel. Badagnani 03:20, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Third canistel always tastes worse[edit]

By about the third canistel, they actually taste uninviting. I bet it is some kind of rare taste change reaction. This differers from say spaghetti which always tastes great, be it your fourth, 44th, (or 444th, boom) fork full.

I.e., randomly select three canistels. The third will always taste worse than the first two you (fully) eat.

My theory: your body is telling you you've had enogh of their special ingredient, come back tomorrow. Jidanni (talk) 03:02, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Measure[edit]

The article says it reaches maximum 7 cm long, while the picture titled "Fruits of a different shape" shows quite longer fruits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.210.142.126 (talk) 19:31, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

Pouteria campechiana, also known as the canistel, is an evergreen tree native to southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and El Salvador. It is cultivated in its native countries and has been introduced into several other countries, including Brazil, Taiwan, and the United States. The edible part of the tree is its fruit, which is colloquially known as an egg fruit. The ripe fruit is used in jam and marmalade, on pancakes, and in a milkshake known as "eggfruit nog".

This picture shows a cross section of the P. campechiana fruit.
