Alibertia bertierifolia

Alibertia bertierifolia is a rare and highly prized tropical fruit tree from the Rubiaceae family, native to Colombia and typically growing 3 to 4 meters tall near coastal regions. The tree thrives in sandy, sea-influenced environments, contributing to its unique flavor profile.

The fruit is round, with a brown shell when ripe. Inside, the pulp is almost black but surprisingly delivers a flavor identical to bananas, offering a sweet, creamy, and exotic taste. Despite its dark interior, it is described as one of the most delicious fruits, making it a rare treasure for fruit enthusiasts. Its scarcity and difficulty to find in nature add to its allure, making it a must-have for collectors seeking rare tropical flavors.
