Thailand Custard Apple

This custard apple is about the size of a large apple and is a hybrid of the sugar apple and the cherimoya, which is uniquely renowned for its intensively soft and deliciously sweet, scented white flesh and creamy texture with a hint of vanilla custard-like flavour with a slight floral aroma. A highly sought-after and popular fruit because it literally tastes like dessert with all the healthy, beneficial nutrients!

STORAGE

When pushed lightly, custard apples will give slightly when ripe. Allow them to ripen at room temperature for a few days if they are still firm.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

The simplest way to enjoy this tropical treat is to cut the fruit in half and eat it uncooked. Using a spoon, scoop the semi-soft meat directly from the shell, discarding the inedible seeds. Fruit salads, milkshakes, yoghurt, sorbet, smoothies, and even ice cream are all good candidates.
