Called Chirimoya in spanish, this has been my preferred fruit during my childhood in Spain.
Here is a picture of the last one for the season as seen in my garden this morning, a late bloomer since the season is a month over! As a bonus this one is huge ( bigger than a big orange )!
How to eat it
The best is to wait a day or two at room temperature for the fruit to ripe (like the avocado, it should be slightly soft to the touch). Then cut it in half, and eat big chunks with a spoon, spitting the seeds ( careful, those are really tough).
Taste
This fruit really tastes like heaven on earth, it's sweet but not too sweet, and it seems like a mixture of banana, pear, strawberry and mango.
Health
In recent studies, it has been found the Chirimoya has, among it's many health benefits, anti-cancerous properties. Here i found a site that describes what amazing benefits you can find in it.
