Cherimoya fruit

 

The Cherimoya fruit was called “the most delicious fruit known to man” by Mark Twain!

Native to South America, it can grow to around 9 meters or 30 feet tall. The white flesh of the ripe fruit is sweet, juicy and very fragrant. It is most commonly eaten out of-hand or scooped with a spoon from the cut open fruit.

Although widely cultivated for its sweet fruits, it is also used in traditional medicine to treat skin disorders.
