The sugar apple, also called cherimoya or sweetsop, is a tropical fruit from the Annonaceae family. It's native to warm areas of the Americas, especially Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America. This fruit is famous for its sweet, creamy flesh and unusual texture.

Sugar apples are usually green with a bumpy, pinecone-like skin. When ripe, they feel soft to the touch, signaling they are ready to eat. Inside, the fruit has soft, white to light yellow pulp that is custard-like and contains black seeds. Its flavor combines hints of banana, pineapple, and vanilla, making it popular in fruit salads, smoothies, and desserts.

Rich in vitamins and minerals, sugar apples are high in vitamin C, vitamin B6, and dietary fiber. They offer health benefits, including antioxidants that fight stress and inflammation in the body.
