Custard Apple Atemoya
£5.00
Atemoya is a mix of sugar apple and cherimoya (Custard Apple).
The flesh is juicy and smooth. The flavor is very sweet vanilla.
This fruit is usually very rare in availability, so if you see it in stock, its best you pick it up.
There is a small season in which only a dozen fruits ripen at a time on the tree.
Atemoyas are very high in Vitamin C, with one average fruit containing around half the daily recommended value of the Vitamin. They are also a good source of dietary fiber, and contain some protein, calcium, and iron.
Atemoya is best eaten chilled and fresh directly out of the shell with a spoon. The flavor pairs well with other tropical fruits and fruit juices such as oranges and limes. Atemoya is also commonly scooped and added to fruit cups and salads, or other dessert recipes. Blend Atemoya pulp with fruit juice and cream, then freeze to make a quick and creative ice cream. This fruit stores well in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. The skin often darkens first, although the fruit inside may still be good.
The flesh is a snow-white color. Inside there are several large black seeds, which should not be eaten. Atemoyas tend to have fewer seeds that the Sugar Apple. The texture is similar to a firm custard, sometimes with some grittiness similar to a pear. The flavor most closely resembles a Cherimoya—pineapple, vanilla, cream, and subacidic notes.
