Annona cherimola is a green, cone-shaped fruit with a leathery skin and a creamy-sweet flesh. It is thought to originate from the Andes Mountains of South America, where it grows in tropical areas at high altitudes. Due to its creamy texture, cherimoya is also known as custard apple. It is usually eaten with a spoon and then refrigerated like custard. Custard apples have a sweet taste similar to other tropical fruits, such as bananas and pineapples. This unique fruit is rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals that support immunity, reduce inflammation and promote eye and heart health. However, some parts of cherimoya contain toxins that may damage your nervous system if consumed in large amounts.
