It comes packaged the way it's been sold for generations — hand-folded into a cone from a royal palm leaf, no box or wrapper needed.

Grated coconut is cooked down with sugar or honey and diced tropical fruit like guava, orange, or pineapple, then packed into a cone folded from palm leaf. Vendors sell it by the roadside around Baracoa, where it's been made the same way for generations.

Why it's made this way: Cucurucho is unique to Baracoa's biosphere-reserve hillsides, where coconut palms and wild fruit grow at the edge of town, and the palm-leaf cone doubles as low-tech packaging that keeps the sweet fresh for travelers to carry home.
