Tropical Fruits

Gran Canaria’s subtropical climate, combined with its terrain, has created fertile valleys and plains ideal for growing a wide variety of tropical fruit. Praised for their special sweetness, their intense flavors and their local freshness, fruit from across the island provide a wide variety of sustainable, healthy ingredients to the cuisine.

This only reinforces the territory’s reputation for quality. Take, for example, Gáldar’s and La Aldea’s delicate papayas, sweet pinapples from Gáldar and Guía, flavorful avocados – especially the singular wrinked avocado – and the mangos from Mogán. And we can’t overlook new plantations achieving great success with kiwis, the pitahaya fruit, guanábanas, lichis, tamarind and starfruit.
