Organic Cherimoya (1 lb)

Amount: Approx 1-2 per lb

Meet the "custard apple" – one of nature's most indulgent treats. Cherimoya tastes like someone blended vanilla ice cream with tropical fruit and decided to package it in the world's most interesting-looking skin.

What You're Getting Creamy, sweet flesh with notes of banana, pineapple, and strawberry, plus a hint of vanilla. The texture is legitimately custard-like, which is why Mark Twain supposedly called it "the most delicious fruit known to men." We can't confirm if he actually said that, but we can confirm it's delicious.

How to Know It's Ready Your cherimoya will arrive firm and should be ripened at room temperature until it gives gently to pressure, like a ripe avocado. This usually takes 2-5 days depending on how firm it arrives. Once ripe, refrigerate and eat within a day or two.

How to Eat It Cut it in half, scoop out the creamy flesh with a spoon, and avoid the large black seeds (they're not edible). Some people chill it first for an even more ice-cream-like experience. You can also cube it for fruit salads or blend it into smoothies.
