Origin and Description:
Candlestick plants are native to Panama and are found throughout Central and South America.
The Candle Fruit is an elongated and cylindrical fruit that looks like freshly-dipped candles and hangs from the branches.
The fruits develop from white, bell-shaped flowers pollinated by moths and bats, with hundreds of fruits growing on a single mature tree.
Candlestick fruits emit an apple-like aroma and have a mild, sweet, and sour flavor, reminiscent of bell peppers and sugarcane.
They have a waxy appearance and are spongy and edible.
The pale-yellow flesh underneath the surface is fibrous, spongy, and juicy, containing small, edible, flat seeds.
The fruits are a bit juicy and sweet in taste.
