A tropical South American fruit tree that produces orange, apple-sized fruits with an acidic, slightly sweet taste similar to passion fruit.
From Spanish/Portuguese 'cocona,' borrowed from Quechua or Tupi languages of South America where the plant is native. The word traveled from indigenous Amazonian languages through Spanish colonization into English.
The cocona is a 'superfruit' that's packed with vitamin C and other nutrients, yet most of the world has never heard of it because it grows in remote rainforests and spoils quickly—making it a hidden gem only locals know about!
