Annona muricata ‘ Soursop ‘

Soursop (Annona muricata), also known as Graviola, is a tropical evergreen tree celebrated for its large, heart-shaped fruits with distinctive green, spiny skin. The soft, creamy white flesh is juicy and aromatic, offering a unique sweet-tart flavor that combines hints of pineapple, strawberry, and citrus. Each fruit contains several hard black seeds embedded within the pulp.

The soursop tree grows best in warm, humid, frost-free climates and prefers well-drained, fertile soil. It reaches a moderate height, with glossy, dark green leaves that release a pleasant fragrance when crushed. Soursop is commonly consumed fresh, but it is also used in juices, smoothies, ice creams, jams, and desserts due to its tropical flavor.

In addition to its culinary uses, soursop is traditionally valued for its nutritional and medicinal properties, being rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. Fruits are usually harvested while green and allowed to ripen off the tree; careful handling is needed to prevent bruising, as the flesh is delicate. This makes soursop a favorite in home gardens, tropical orchards, and markets for its flavor, versatility, and health benefits.
