Yes, they taste like mangosteen, which we love, but iwhich s very expensive in Oz. Just bought some at the Coles in Yamba, NSW at Yamba Fair Shopping Centre. Definitely buy more for a treat.
Thanks Bill! Yes, the Achacha is a distant relative of the Mangosteen – with more tang and less sugar.
They can be found from the lovely fruit man outside Chifely Plaza, Sydney CBD
Was pleasantly surprised to find them at Coles at Wattle Grove.
I was delighted to find them at Coles Pyrmont near Sydney CBD (and across from work! Bonus!)
Bought a box at Chinese new year festivities a few years back and have been keeping an eye out ever since!
Great article is there any chance I can take it and copy it onto my own blog
OMG – Achacha, amazing!!!! It’s sweet it’s tangy, it’s little perfect piece of heaven. Bought mine at colesonline.com.au I live in North Sydney so I think my delivery store is Dee Why.
Thanks Jenny! You can likewise try your local Coles stores (Neutral Bay), Harris Farm, Thomas Dux and other independent fruit and vegetable shops.
Achacha’s are in Bundaberg!
Went shopping at Bi-Lo in Westfield Plaza (now operated by Coles) and saw the achacha’s sitting near the apricots. I haven’t found a fruit I don’t like so grabbed half a kilo to try out and I love them. Will be popping back in this arve to see if they’re still there and buy more. Also have to say good work on the website. First thing I did was Google ‘Achacha’ to find out where they were from and your site popped up. Very informative!
Thanks Achacha Team

I live on the Central Coast between Sydney and Newcastle and my local Coles at Wyoming has them at the moment. LOVE LOVE LOVE the flavour! Found myself licking my lips for ages after, still tasting the sweetness I slurped all over my face
Back for more tomorrow!
By the way, I got lucky, they were on special for $4.99/kilo!!!!
Hey guys!
For sydney siders, accidentally found achachas at Foodworks at Marrickville!! How exciting!
I bought some achacha at Thomas Dux in Westfield Hornsby, NSW, yesterday. Yum!
Hi Achacha lovers,
OMG, i found this fruit by accident in Coles Altona North in Altona Gate Shopping centre, Melbourne.
Saw the fruit on the shelf without a label, being adventurous as i am when i find something new just had to buy 2, not knowing what they were or would taste like. Got to to checkout and no one could tell me what they were, finally one of the checkout personnel found them, they became a bit of a talking point. Cutting a long story short, got outside and had to try one to see what they were like. Needless to say i went straight back in and bought a kg of them. I absolutely love them, lol, scoffed the lot when i got home and am going back tomorrow to get more, unfortunately i threw the skins out before finding this website, so tomorrows batch i will turn the skins into a delicious drink as well, and try the granata as well
. Job well done on the website guys, very informative and thank you for bring this fruit into the market place, awesome.
cheers all, take care,
Derek
Wow, thanks Derek!
This is the kind of feedback that helps us jump out of bed in the morning!! The Achacha adventure has been, indeed, an adventure. Firstly the Achacha is one of the few new fruit on the market, so getting the word out there is not easy. Secondly, now we’re heading down the biological farming method, the adventure and learning has clearly just begun. We’re thrilled you could join the journey!
I hope you can enjoy more of this season’s fruit – we’ve put your name in the draw to win a box.
Bon appétit!
Achacha
Hey achacha lovers!!
For the sydney siders out there, I’ve found achachas at ‘The World of Fruit’ at 224-226 Beamish Street, Campsie!
I have been hunting them down everywhere!! ENJOY!
Hi there achacha folk. Letting you all know that if you are Bayside Melbourne you can now pick up a bag of fantastically fresh achacha from Leaf, at 111 Ormond Rd, Elwood.
Thanks for your help Bea!
I got some at The Hawthorne Garage this week after not having seen them for several years.
I love them and now my parents do to.
Thanks Inez and we’re stoked you’re enjoying them! Do you have an address for the Hawthorne Garage? Many thanks!
Superfresh Fruit Shop at Eastwood Village on Progress avenue, Eastwood 2122 NSW. $11.99/kg. They’re located near the front checkouts. I’m enjoying a bowlful right now. One of the best fruits ever!
Thanks Gareth! We’ll be soon starting a spotters competition again – so we’ll have your name in the draw. Happy Achacha!
I saw Achacha at the Golden Banana in Top Ryde City last week.
Hi
My husband and I were offered Achacha to try at Woolworths Inala. They were surprisingly tasty and very morish. Have only seen them occasionally since though keep looking out for them.

Hi

We purchased some achacha from Lincoln Fruit and Veg in Port Lincoln South Australia. My daughter has eaten a lot of them over the last couple of days. They taste really good. Can’t wait to buy a carton. Cheers Ian
World Asian Grocers Parafield Gardens
Found them at Horsham, Victoria, in Coles. They’re quite nice. I eat a lot of fruit so I’m really interested to see what I can do with these.
I found these at are local green grocer today!

I’ve just had my first Achacha today, kindly given to me by a friend at work and it is sooooo yummy! It is reminds me of the taste of one of the foods of the gods, ripened cocoa coated with deliciously milky-white-heaven! I shall buy a box when I next go shopping somewhere, Coles, wherever I can find them!
Hi,
I’m Michelle and I’m an Achacha addict. I bought our 4th box (5 kgs each) today in just over 2 weeks!
I bought them from the Mt. Druitt Asian Store opposite the train station. I also got some from Parklea Markets and Cabramatta.
Hope this last the whole year and be available everywhere…
Regards,
Michelle from Blacktown, NSW
Hi Michelle, thanks for being such a great supporter. Did you know you can put them in plastic bag in the freezer with the skins on and you can have little natural frozen Achacha sorbets for months.
Hi, I had some for the first time on a Holland America cruise out of Sydney. I found some at Coles in Sydney and brought them back to Canada .. family and friends love them!!
Hi Al, some of your fellow cruisers found them at Everleigh Markets also. Thanks for spreading the word on Achachas! Small trial orders have been sent to Vancouver and Montreal so you may with luck find them in Canada in the future.
Wow…great feedback – please keep it coming!! And don’t forget to ask for it at the local food shop. Achacha is now available from all the major food chains and at all the main fruit and veg markets on the east coast Australia (inc Adelaide).
Hear of a place we don’t know of and you’ll run in the draw for a 5 kilo box – next one coming soonly!
The wife and myself were recently shopping in our local woolworths store at Bluewater Square in Redcliffe Qld and I found a small amount of these for sale whilst browsing. Woolies had a leaflet with them explaining what they were and how to eat them which was good. I showed them the wife and she was intrigued so we got a couple,she loved hers and has now found another favourite fruit (she dont eat many lol),have just tried mine and ate it all. Found it to be a lot like a Lychee in appearance and texture but with a lot of taste where as a Lychee is more bland.Very much tasted like a very zesty orange which you wouldnt expect,can still taste it in my mouth minutes later!Cool!
My mum & I decided to try these when we found them at Coles and now we can’t wait to get more! We found ours at Coles in Rowville:
Stud Park Shopping Centre
Cnr Stud & Fulham Rds, Rowville, VIC
Hi,
Recently tried Achacha and loved them. These could easily become an addiction I think!
I found mine at the Strathfieldsaye Supa IGA near Bendigo, Victoria (939 Wellington Road). They got a box of these in during the last couple of days and were selling them for around $9.99 a kilo.
Bendigo Wholefoods (314 Lyttleton Terrace) have also told me they’re getting a box in over the next few days.
Looking forward to seeing Achacha available more widely.
thanks
Rachael,

Found these yum fruit in Dubbo NSW Coles.
.
Disappointed we didn’t know you could eat the skins till we threw them away
Love the flavour, looking forward to my next one -including the skin! as that delicious sounding drink.
Wow – the Achacha is getting around…Kathy, skins can be used in a number of ways; firstly the Achacha thirst quencher is a great way to deal with the summer heat, and then if you’re brave you could use the skins for a delicious preserve.
Good luck and thanks!
Today I saw them in Balalclava Coles in Melbourne and had no idea what they were, but decided to buy 2 to try anyway – and LOVE them! I’m going to go back tomorrow and buy a big stash!! It would be great to see them as a staple fruit in major supermakets one day.
Thanks Tina, we’re so glad Melbourne has embraced the ‘Achacha’ – it is our first year down south. Please let us know if you track it down elsewhere!
I bought some Achachas today 03FEB2012 from a local Woolies Supermarket in Box Hill VIC. It is yum!! LOVED it.
Cheers,
Yumei
Hi,
My friends brought Achacha home last week? After one we couldn’t stop till all gone.
Since then we buy almost every day fom Woolworth.
I love it!
Kimmy
Hey great Kimmy, thanks for your support!! Where have you found them?
For Adelaide residents, I’ve bought Achacha at both Mariana Market on Grote St in the city and at Coco’s Fruit and Vegetables in the Central Market.
Thanks so much – we’ll add it to the list.

Hi!
There’s a small fruit shop on John Street in Lidcombe, Sydney that sells the fruit, I bought boxes from them for my NYD party! I’ve also spied achachas at my local Coles, although naughty them had put the fruit in the refrigerated section! Maybe someone needs to send them a memo about that…
Cheers,
Jess
Good stuff Jess – we’ve found a lot of shops are putting the fruit in the cool-room. We’ll let them know.
I have bought Achachas this summer from Rock N Roll Marketplace in Greenslopes (Brisbane).
Cheers
Lizz
Thanks Lizz!
We’ve put you’re name in the hat to win a box.

hi
just tasted my first Achacha and loved it. Does it come in powdered form? For convenience factor- or have you known them to dry successfully .
BEST REGARDS
ALMA IN ADELAIDE
Alma,
Great to hear we have support in SA – this is our first year there so we hope it is being well received!!
We have not experimented with powdered form yet – however it will be something we will need to explore in the future.
Thanks for your comments,
Achacha
