The Forgotten Fruit - Soursop and Starfruit Secrets

Peek into Hinchinbrook’s backyard gardens and you’ll find surprises beyond the supermarket shelf, such as starfruit, black sapote and soursop among them. These “forgotten fruits” thrive quietly in the warm, humid air, tended by growers who love the unusual.

Starfruit adds sparkle to soda water, black sapote masquerades as chocolate mousse, and soursop makes a tangy tropical ice cream. You’ll find them traded at weekend markets or tucked into farmgate stalls. They’re the secret side of Hinchinbrook — exotic, humble and full of heart.
