How to Eat a Sugar Apple (aka Anón/Sweetsop)

I love how normal this girl is and that she gets right to the point. She seems like a cool person to hang out with. Great video. Keep up the good content! ❤❤❤

[@bilka742]

I was born in Cuba and I am very family with sugar apples or anones. I eat them exactly the same way. Cubans also extract the fruit pulp, remove the seeds and make milk shakes (batidos) with them. And, they are delicious in a shake.

[@daphnenieves9831]

How do they remove the seeds?

[@floridafruitgeek3354]

Excellent video, great intro to this fruit. A few months ago, I had the best sugar apple I've every eaten - the taste had elements of cherry and pear, amidst lots of other flavor notes, and that creamy Annona texture. I hadn't realized sugar apples could be so good. I planted the seeds!

[@OurTropicalSoil]

Thank you for the support! It is awesome that you planted the seeds and hopefully they grow true to seed. We will just have to wait and see. Patience is very important when growing fruit trees so I have learned.

[@pocketwoodlands4054]

Thanks for your video, loved it! I used to make sugar apple popsicles for my kids in the Virgin Islands by scooping the pulp into a bowl and squeezing the seeds out, then putting the pulp in a popsicle holder with sticks... super refreshing on a hot day!

"You dont wanna eat the seeds because they're toxic" i wish more people realize this.

These fruits are so delicious. When I happen upon good samples of the countless exotic fruits, I almost feel as if I'm cheating. It's a shame that most people will never experience them.

[@OurTropicalSoil]

Yes this is true. There is such a variety in fruit! There are even a lot of temperate fruit that many people never get to try. Like the pawpaws and countless species of small berry like fruits.

Delicious! We eat sugar apples daily here too when they are in season :)

[@hilarygenes8194]

I have eaten may Sugar apples when I lived in the Tropics but never used a spoon , just broke it in half and used my fingers to remove the seeds and suck the pulp and spit the seeds out. If you were in your garden You would not have or bother with a spoon. It used to taste sweet foh so! 🤣😂😅

[@OurTropicalSoil]

Sounds delicious!

[@anikka2071]

We have plenty of sugar apple trees and it's my only favorite fruit 😍

[@user-ql3ch9kx2s]

About How many seeds are in a segment or a spoonful. So I’m hoping you see my comment as a suggestion and not a criticism I love the idea of showing fruits and maybe vegetables that most people don’t get to see or experience. Thank you. Problem is when you hold up a spoonful of for instance, seeds, or fruit tilted toward the camera. It gets blurry when you hold it up straight and you can’t see what’s on the spoon. Thanks again.

[@lifenlunacy5833]

I live in Florida and I have never heard of these. I am going to see if I can find some for my family to try. We would love to grow them but not sure if we are too far north.

They grow well in a container

[@sowyouthinkyoucanplant5630]

Never tried a sugar apple, but I've eaten untold numbers of cherimoya. If sugar apple tastes better, I have a feeling that I would still prefer cherimoya just because of their fewer seed to flesh ratios

[@OurTropicalSoil]

It turns out that I have never actually eaten a cherimoya! The true cherimoya is annona cherimola. It only fruits in higher elevations. The fruit I ate that I thought was a cherimoya was the annona reticulata which is considered one of the ugly ducklings from the annona family since it is not as tasty as the sugar apple, cherimoya, or soursop. In Cuba the reticulata is called cherimoya but in English it is called custard apple. My family called it cherimoya and I didn't find out that it wasn't the true one until months later! Funny story.

[@sowyouthinkyoucanplant5630]

@@OurTropicalSoil So good to have anonna knowledge! Our climate in northern NZ is suitable for a lot of higher elevation tropical species so even near the ocean cherimoya (annona cherimola) can do really well. The colour variations are really interesting with the custard apple and I've heard they're more variable in flavour than other well known annona species so could be even better tasting!

[@OurTropicalSoil]

@@sowyouthinkyoucanplant5630 That is awesome that you are in New Zealand! Other side of the world :) Yes the Custard apple i have seen can be fully green, purple, red or pink on the outside. The inside can be fully white or white with pink or fully pink. It makes for beautiful pictures! The atemoya is a cross between the sugar apple and the true cherimoya that does well here. I want to get one of those trees but I need to buy a grafted one. Apparently it is bigger and tastes better then a sugar apple. I have seen it sold for around 15 - 20 dollars the pound, so I think I will just wait until I grow my own to try it. :)

[@BPTacticalSovereignty]

Wonder what nutritional value it has, i'll look it up. Cool Episode, and holding your hand behind the seed to show it better was very smart of you!

What makes the seeds toxic, but not the inside? And are they crunchy?? I'm curious now.

thanks your video was very helpful

[@OurTropicalSoil]

[@user-gq5yl5ij6t]

My husband is from India and he was giving one of these to our child today. The skin had dark/black spots like the one you are showing. I almost had a heart attack because I thought it was rotten/had gone bad. The inside was very sweet and quite mushy but it didn't taste fermented, so I think I have learned this is a ripe, good stage to eat it at? :)

[@sandradle756]

I live in Boston. Are there any places where I can order certain tropical fruits such as sugar apples, dragon fruit, etc (like i can order oranges) that are ripe and delicious and have them delivered. I can get papaya, dragon fruit, etc at Walmarts but I'm certain they're not great quality because they taste pretty bad. I'd love to be able to try some of these tropical fruits while I'm able to! (I'm 77yrs young!). Thanks so much and I'm a new follower now! Fascinating channel. I actually took a pic of a sugar apple from another channel where they were eating it and googled it which is how I learned the name of the fruit and found you! I'm on a mission. Pls respond!!!

I just started growing an geffner atemoya. Less seeds and bigger fruit. It is just a three gallon now and cold hardy.

I am looking to buy an atemoya tree. I haven't eaten one yet but I hear they are good. I absolutely love sugar apples so I am interested to see how good the atemoya is!

[@davidmcnamara7006]

Our Tropical Soil make sure you get a Geffner. They self pollinate the only variety that does

Okay thank you! I will make sure.

Known as sweetsop in Jamaica.

[@zeken0]

I had 5 sitting there waiting to ripe. I from Dominica moved to Canada a few years back. sadly i could only get them once in a while from the west Indian market. i don't remember the smell but one smelted a bit sour and had some mold on it so i did not trust it. have put the other 3 in the fridge and ate one and it tasted amazing.

[@OurTropicalSoil]

Mmmm delicious. Yeah definitely stay away from it if it starts getting mold. I have found that when they start going bad they do taste a bit sour instead of sweet.

[@mohammadakhtaruzzaman8332]

Sugar apple is called ata in bamgla

[@75aces97]

I was only able to get one once, and I don't think the one I got was ripe enough. If only I'd know then.

[@OurTropicalSoil]

I am sorry to hear that. Yes you really need to get properly ripened. They are not very good if picked too green.

I have picked a few sugar apples but they are very hard inside. What am I doing wrong?

@@scottsquire8119 Try to wait to harvest them till you feel them slightly soft. Check on them everyday and when they are soft then harvest. Then leave them on the counter and wait until they are very soft to eat them. Check my channel. I have a video about harvesting sugar apple.

[@VimalaNowlis]

No natives eat it with a spoon. That's like eating pizza with a fork. All you have to do is pull each seed pod off and eat it individually.

Haha I eat pizza with a fork. Less messy! My parents grew up in Cuba eating sugar apples this way with the spoon method. I eat soursops by pulling off the pods though.

Hi this fruit is chirimoya?

[@OurTropicalSoil]

Hello! The scientific name for the fruit in the video is Annona squamosa. Common names for it include: sugar apple, anón, or sweetsop. Sometimes it is called cherimoya. However, the name cherimoya is normally give to Annona cherimola, which is a related plant. A. cherimola needs cooler temps and higher elevation to fruit. Some places where it is grown includes California and the highlands of South America. South Florida does not meet these conditions so the tree can grow here, but it will not fruit here. A. squamosa, however, grows and fruits well in South Florida. The fruit atemoya is a hybrid between A. squamosa adn A, cherimola. This tree grows and fruits in South Florida while also producing fruit that are bigger and have less seeds than A. squamosa. I hope this helped. Annona species are a bit confusing to identify with common names since the same name is normally given to multiple fruit.
