Mark Twain called the cherimoya (Annona Cherimola) "the most delicious fruit known to men!" The Sweetsop/Sugar apple (Annona Squamosa) is called the "Aristocrat of fruits". Garden Talk spoke to Director, Institute of Indigenous Medicine, Swarna Hapuarachchi on Annona, genus of the family, Annonaceae that contains absolutely mouthwatering fruits.
"Cherimoya (Annona Cherimola) is a tree that produces white fleshed custard like fruit that is sweet and delicious. The creamy texture of the flesh gives the fruit its secondary name, custard apple. A name it shares with Annona Reticulata. Cherimoya is a small-sized fruit with mosaic patterns on the skin surface. The fruit is also known as the "tree of ice cream," owing to its creamy consistency. The fruit is commonly used in smoothies, ice creams, pie fillings and mousse.
