A smooth, brilliant yellow fruit with sweet translucent flesh. It has delicious flavour reminiscent of creme caramel and a texture that is extremely smooth and luscious.

In Brazil the pulp from the plant is used medicinally, to relieve coughs and bronchitis. Of course, most people love the fruit's flavour, which is enhanced when eaten slightly chilled. Cut in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon and enjoy. It can be used to flavour ice cream and make other desserts.

Safou

I really wanted to grow Safou trees because I had read how good the fruit was to eat. I had heard it described by friends who had tried it as like mashed potato and butter' or like herby Avocado'. I had been looking for seeds or seedlings for a while when I found them at Daleys. They like warm and humid. I live on the Atherton Tablelands and I will put them in a greenhouse with a mister in the cooler months until they are more established. I would like to buy more seedlings in the future.
