Did you know?

It belongs to the same family as sugar apple and soursop. Conical knobs stud its yellow skin, and when ripe the inside turns into a juicy white pulp tasting of lemonade; too perishable to travel, it is found mostly where it grows.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
