Asian and Exotic Fruit SOURSOP Annona muricata Spanish: Guanabana A member of the custard apple/ atemoya family. the soursop is the largest of this fruit family sold in Australian markets, although the rollinia, which is larger, is also grown but is too fragile to consign to market. Soursop can weigh up to one kilogram per fruit, the flesh is white compared to the yellow flesh of the custard apple, and the skin is spiky rather than knobbly. The taste, as the name implies, is not sweet but astringent. Availability: Soursop is available the year round, and the total production in Australia would be around 30 tonnes. Growing conditions: Tropical Queensland. |
