They are market stars every winter and invade the tents. Seasonal fruits indicate the tip of their nose. Remember to cook them and include them in your dessert. This summer, many entrepreneurs are enjoying their creativity while seasonal fruits are available.
Fruits from China or France, guavas, dragons, strawberries, hams, jams, suraps, billiards, carambola, avocados, and citrus fruits are among the most popular fruits on the island. “Chinese guava is rare and expensive this year for around 150 grams per 25 Rs,” said Crapalo Sunghon, president of the Small Planters Association.

Regarding the unique fruit, Kreepalloo Sunghoon said that he regretted that many of them did not have enough value.
The public also believes that there is a need to raise awareness about timely fruit conservation. “Many Mauritians have fruit trees in their gardens and do not know what to do when they harvest a lot of fruit,” said our correspondent. However, fruit storage in this category is a great way to eat seasonal fruits throughout the year, said chef Ramon Govindut, a pastry chef at the Shandrani Bichcomber Hotel. “If your fruit tree bears a lot of fruit this winter, remember to keep the fruit dry in the sun, especially the balm and star fruit. Fruits containing water cannot be dried. So they can be used to make compost or fruit jelly. We can do crystallization, for example, ”he added.
Every seasonal fruit available this winter can be used in a variety of homemade desserts. Some can be cooked, while others are better with salads. “Guavas can be eaten in China or France, for example in salads, jams, ice cream or sorbet or mousse. Raspberry is ideal for tart, ice cream, jam and even desserts. ”
Ham can be used in jam when it is eaten in a salad. Soursop, according to him, can be used in juice or mousse. “Bilimbis Compost or Jam can be paired with Amandi Tart. Avocados are eaten as a mousse or ice cream and the star fruit is eaten as candy or as a sweetener. “Dragon fruit is ideal for making ice cream or sorbet,” he added.
