A Healthful Gift Of Freaky Fruits For Halloween

Imagine freaky, fun Halloween fare that’s healthy, sweetened by nature*, nutritious, delicious, and has no added sugar.

We espied† this Freaky Fruit® Experience Kit on Melissa’s Produce and hastened to order some for friends and family who won’t—or can’t—have candy.

Dive into a uniquely healthy Halloween adventure with our Freaky Fruit® Experience Kit, perfect for crafting hauntingly delicious treats sweetened by nature.

The five-pound box of fruit includes:

  • Dragon fruit
  • Finger limes (tart but edible as is)
  • Kiwano melons
  • Pomegranates
  • Rambutans
     
    Just on sight, spidery rambutans and spiky Kiwano melons look creepy. Peeled rambutans look like eyeballs. The scaly skin of dragon fruits and leathery skin of pomegranates simply look weird.

    The insides of dragon fruit, finger limes, kiwano melons, and blood-red pomegranates make ghoulish garnishes.

    The artistic folks can turn these fruits into monster snacks and spooky desserts.

    The rest of us can grab a napkin and dig in.

    All of the fruits can be stored at room temperature for a few days, and will last up to two weeks if refrigerated (the exception is pomegranates, which can last up to two months if refrigerated whole).

    Some Freaky Fruit recipes from Melissa’s and a collection from The Nibble:

  • Dragon Fruit Scream
  • Monster Snacks (combine rambutans and pomegranate arils)
  • Kiwano Melon Lime Cooler
  • Kiwano Monster Fizz
