ILYACHO GROW KIT
US$49.00
Three seasons of ripeness. One day.
When you harvest this fruit determines what it becomes.
Ilyacho is a crop that carries the temperature difference between day and night in its flesh. At night, it opens its stomata to accumulate acids. During the day, it converts those acids into sugars.
The same fruit on the same tree offers tartness at dawn, sweetness at midday, and fragrance at night.
Experience the transformation for yourself. Choose your harvest time according to what you want to make.

How to Grow
Choose a spot with plenty of sunlight that turns cool at night. Ilyacho thrives on the difference.
Water sparingly, only when the growing medium has dried out completely. Take particular care to avoid waterlogging.
Observe when your preferred flavor develops, and harvest then.
The fruit continues to change after picking. Enjoy it when the flavor is right.
Freshness, redefined.
For Ilyacho, freshness is measured by how far the fruit has moved from your preferred flavor—not simply by how long ago it was picked. Growing becomes a way of getting the flavor ready for the moment you want to eat.
Time is an ingredient.
Grow your own Ilyacho and experience three seasons of ripeness in a single day.
