Custard Apple - bullocks heart

Annona reticulata

 

Symmetrically heart shaped or more rounded, the thin skin has a velvety appearance and is covered with scaly depressions. when fully ripe it develops a brownish colour with a pink or reddish blush. there is a thick, cream white layer of custard like flesh beneath the skin surrounding the fruit’s juicy segments. in each segment there is a single hard black seed which is toxic and should not be consumed. the ripe fruit’s flavour is sweet, succulent, and musky, without the distinct floral character of its cousins the cherimoya and atemoya,.
