Naranjilla is a staple fruit in Ecuador and Colombia, where is known as lulo. Its name can be misleading given that the fruit does not resemble the flavor or texture of naranja (Spanish for orange). The best way I can possibly describe the flavor of naranjilla would be a combination of passion fruit and soursop! Delicious!
Cut open naranjilla and you will find a greenish kiwi-like appearance. It is mostly used in cold and hot beverages such as Coladas or juices. Surprisingly, it is also used to boost the flavor of savory dishes such as Seco de Chivo (goat stew).
Here is a yummy recipe of Lulo popsicles…
