Custard apple, also known as "sitaphal" or "sugar apple," is a tropical fruit with a unique taste and appearance. It has a knobby green skin that hides sweet, creamy, and fragrant flesh inside. The flesh is divided into segments, each containing a shiny black seed.
To savour their delectable flesh, first cut the fruit in half. Inside, you'll find creamy, sweet pulp containing dark seeds. Use a spoon to gently scoop out the pulp while avoiding the seeds. Custard apples can be eaten as a wholesome snack, added to fruit salads for extra sweetness and texture, or blended into smoothies for a delightful twist.
