Sweet Sop - Annona squamosa

The sweetsop (very closely related to cherimoya as well) doesn’t thrive here in southern Baja. However, if you take good care, it will yield you a luscious custardy fruit without the characteristic sour tang of the guanabana. Flesh is a little smoother (less fibrous) than guanabana as well. I love the purple/red coloring of the ripe fruit. The flesh is much sweeter and softer (less fibrous) than the soursop. The leaves are used for dyssentary and UTIs in some tropical areas.
