How to eat Cherimoya | What does Cherimoya Fruit taste like?

[@deirdre444]

If you wait until the outside is softer and shows a combination of green and brown, the inside will be softer and more like a custard with a consistency resembling a ripe pear but much sweeter with sections like a pineapple. In its peak of ripeness it literally drips sweet liquid. It is definitely the best fruit I have EVER eaten. I was a fruitarian for several years and could not get enough of this fruit.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yep it was definitely more ripe the next day. Yummy!

[@Lat41]

I hope to visit Madeira in 2021 and this is one of the first items I will seek out.

[@loganwolv3393]

I've also had one. I bought it from my local store, 3 days later i ate it and i gotta say the flavour of the fruit really is amazing. The only negative is that apperently the skin of the fruit is not edible (even though it's really easy to chew, i did try to eat like 2 bites of it but yeah apperently it contains a few toxic compounds). Though i can say just 1 day later it was already prettty soft so yeah i probably could've eaten it earlier, though i wish it had more pulp in it.

"The pineapple, the mangosteen, and the cherimoya", wrote the botanist Berthold Carl Seemann, "are considered the finest fruits in the world, and I have tasted them in those localities where they are supposed to attain their highest perfection - the pineapple in Guayaquil, the mangosteen in the Indian Archipelago, and the cherimoya on the slopes of the Andes, and if I were asked which would be the best fruit, I would choose without hesitation, cherimoya. Its taste, indeed, surpasses that of every other fruit, and Haenke was quite right when he called it the masterpiece of Nature."

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

They are pretty awesome. I LOVE pineapple especially when it is grilled. I still haven't tried mangosteen, can't wait to find one and try it.

[@BehraamBaqai]

Durian and mango have joined the fray

[@TheGloryofMusic]

@@BehraamBaqai I tried 'white sapote' and found it similar to but better than the cherimoya.

[@jasecee8992]

I just bought my first one and it is gorgeous. I got creamy, custardy flavour, and soft pulp. Was not fully ripe, but the centre was so nice. It also also related to soursop, which is a fruit i would love to try.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Glad you got to try it and liked it!!

[@TeaWitcher]

Thanks for this. Just got some from sprouts. I used to make these at a juice bar I worked and ooomg they were my fav smoothies. Had them daily cant wait to try my own.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome!! Just wait until it is ripe. :) Should be lightly brown in a few places and have give to it when you press it, not firm. And if you happen to cut it open and it isn't fully ripe, like I did in the video, just wrap it and let it ripen a few more days in the fridge. :) :)

[@CPGurchGurch-ki8xw]

Me and my friend had one of these and first had to Google Lens it, then You Tubed it and that's how we found you! Weird but interesting fruit. I like your description: pear, pineapple, mango - I think that fits perfectly. Ours was over ripe, we thought and might be better the way yours was. Not about to pay 11 bucks for one and it's definitley not the best fruit ever. But if i saw one on sale with a buck or 2 off I'd buy it.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome, glad you found it! Yeah mine was under ripe in this video, the sweet spot is somewhere in between this one and the one you tried. But still too expensive to try regularly in my opinion haha

[@ismaramackenzie6188]

In Cuba it has the same name. but we will never eat it that green. we always wait for it to ripe very well. It is very good in smoothies and juices

Is it better to eat it at room temperature or cold? Thank you

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Either is fine, the main thing is to make sure it is ripe. It wasn't ripe enough in this video.

[@boardcertifiable]

I bought one for 3 dollars at my local Asian market. Imo it has more of a texture like a ripe banana or custard, and it tasted a little tarty, but sweet with a sort of cherry and passion fruit taste.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Glad you tried it! Yes when very ripe it will taste kind of like custard as far as the texture goes.

[@crisgryan]

One of my favorite fruits, you described it just how I would! Dragon egg heart shaped fruit! It definetely needs to be a brown green to get the full effect to reach the custard apple level.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome!! Yes as mentioned at the very end this one wasn't as ripe as it could have been. :) I wish they were cheaper here in the States.

[@BlissRealEstateServ]

I live in San Diego County CA. I have 2 Cherimoya trees. They are interesting in taste. They should be eaten with a spoon. I describe the taste as super sweet with hints of pineapple, coconut, and mango. Very tropical.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Nice! That is awesome you have two trees. I have seen them eaten many ways, a spoon being one of them. I grew up in CA, San Jose area. But my dad grew up in San Diego, I spent lots of time in San Diego. Great place.

[@DN888-1]

Where do you find all these unique fruits?

I am lucky enough to have two International/Asian supermarkets within 25 minutes of where I live. I usually drive over there once every two months or so to see what is in season and if there is anything new I haven't tried before. Which reminds me, I need to drive over there again! haha

[@Feltcutemightchangelater]

If you have an Hmart near you they may stock these on occasion (got mine there in Houston along with a soursop)

[@PB-sm2oq]

The chirimoya is a beautiful and absolutely delicious fruit. From the sound of it when you bit into it, it seems like yours was a tad under ripe, it should not give a crunch sound when its bit into it when its properly ripe it soft and just sweet enough, also typically eaten with a spoon. My favorite fruit ever!!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yep such a great fruit and yes it was a bit underripe. I mentioned that at the very end of the video. :)

[@cgtheman3489]

I love exotic fruits and cherimoya is great. Another lesser known fruit that's absolutely delicious are loquats. Loquats are probably my favorite fruit. I looooove them. They are native to Southern China but are grown worldwide in mild climates. Almost impossible to find them in stores so you pretty much just have to find a tree and pick them. They ripen in the Spring time. They can be eaten fresh or used any way you would use apples or peaches. Pies, cobbler, jams, etc.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

YES! I love loquats too! Growing up we had a big loquat tree in our backyard in California. So yummy! They do grow here in AZ but a bit harder to take care of while young, because of the intense heat we get here. We have a couple specialty exotic/tropical fruit nurseries that sell a few varieties of loquat trees here. Every once in awhile you can find them at the nurseries in Lowe's or Home Depot.

In India we get Custard Apple and it should be blackish around the ridges. This looks unripe, you should be able to break open with your hands. If you are using a knife, then it is most likely unripe. The consistency/softness inside a custard apple feels like the inside of a pecan-pie with the seeds.

[@zambezianrose4061]

Hello, I hope you're well. I wo like to find out, can you replant the seeds and eat the skin?

[@chara173]

dayum 11.50 dollars? i just bought it and it cost me like 1.50 euro (1.80 dollars) I live in Italy so prices may change but damn

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome! They grow a lot of them in Spain. I was at a local market the other day and found some for $5.99. It was probably off season when I bought the one in the video. $5.99 is the cheapest I have seen them here where live though.

[@zakiullahkhan9255]

If you eat Indian custard apple when proper ripe you'll throw this away and it also costs like half a dozen in less than a dollar.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

They don't sell the Indian Custard apple here, at least I haven't seen them. If they did, it would be just as expensive. Cherimoya and Custard apple are in the same family of fruits. The Cherimoya is sometimes referred to as a Custard apple, but it really isn't because they are two different fruits.

[@BobRooney290]

you've just eaten the 1 fruit/veggie with the highest protein content. nothing tops it.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

It is a pretty awesome fruit, indeed!

[@davidlocke4466]

$1 in Ecuador. Let it get softer!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

That is a great price!

[@arenglish8906]

Here it costs 5 $

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@arenglish8906 $5 is the cheapest I have found them, but they were really small.

[@arenglish8906]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt I see Ya it's kinda small but not tiny Hhhh

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@arenglish8906 No the one in the video is a big one, but it cost twice as much haha, the $5 dollar ones I saw a few weeks ago, were about half the size as the one in the video. :)

[@fak119]

How does he know how to eat the fruit if he never tasted it?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Easy, a little thing called research.

[@angelataylor287]

I luv honest people

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

:) :) :)

[@msjennable]

When rip, it's like custard...not crunchy.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yes I know. You didn't watch the whole video. :)

[@leeming-chi3113]

We call Custard Apple as Shijian, Cherimoya as Pineapple Shijian in Taiwan. Love both of them. It costs $2~3/pound.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome! :) That is a good price too!

[@mikemurray1047]

This dude started eating this fruit when I was only Partially ripened. What’s wrong with him? This is a beautiful fruit. You need to let it totally ripe before cutting into it.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You didn't watch the whole video did you? I said it wasn't ripe at the end!

[@Kaytee16]

I don't think u let it ripe enough. Looks similar to a sugar apple here in the Caribbean.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yes, I talked about that at the end of the video. Yep it is very close to the Sugar Apple/Sweetsop. :)

[@Titanic19127]

Reminded me of some sort of ice cream

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yes!!

[@SoumickAI]

Cherimoya ≠ custard apple They are different The one you are holding is Cherimoya Cherimoya is from the Latin America, while custard apple is from Asia.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hey there! I know this is a Cherimoya, I was the one that bought it :). Custard apple is just another common name for them although yes you are right, they are not true custard apples, but part of the custard apple family. These articles must have it wrong then. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custard_apple and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherimoya The creamy texture is literally what gives the Cherimoya its secondary name which is Custard Apple. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherimoya and www.healthline.com/nutrition/cherimoya and the farmer's almanac www.farmersalmanac.com/what-the-heck-is-cherimoya-15580 "Because one popular way of eating them is to chill them and eat them with a spoon, cherimoyas are popularly known as “ice cream fruit” or “custard apples.” But don’t confuse them with “sugar apples” - Annona squamosa - they’re very similar, but different fruits." Custard Apple is the family, which includes soursop, and pawpaw. This article has it more correct foodprint.org/real-food/cherimoya-atemoya/ the true distinction is in their scientific names Custard Apple (annona reticulata) and Cherimoya (Annona cherimola).

[@rosemaldonado6596]

The seed and peeling is known to be poison. Yours needed to be a lil more ripe. We have a huge tree in our backyard in California.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hi Rose, yes, I mentioned at the end of the video it wasn't ripe. :)

[@normanmeloche5287]

He is eating an unriped fruit, as noted by someone the fruit needs to be soft to the touch and a little brown. When properly ripped it will be sweet and you may even have chucks of sugar. When I go to Colombia I hunt down this fruit all the time...

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You didn't watch the whole video did you? I said it wasn't ripe at the end!

[@For91Days]

Didn't look rip! Needs to be a bit squishy!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Did you watch the whole video?? I said it wasn't ripe at the end.

[@Anita-ki5yw]

Custard apple yum!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Indeed! :)

[@subtotechnoblade2692]

that's not a custard apple(Annona reticulata). that is a cherimoya(Annona cherimola) dont get pawpaw, custard apple, cherimoya, atemoya, sugar apple, soursop, and kepel apple mixed. they are all related but are different.
