Soursop fruit is more familiar as a Guyabano fruit and in Cebuano, we called it SABANA. An amazing, delicious fruit that can satisfy our thirst and hunger. It has many benefits to our health too. Here in my backyard garden, I planted this seedling in the year 2006 after 5 years I started harvesting my first soursop or the Guyabano fruit. Not to brag, but up to the present time, it continues to bear fruits.
This is what my blog is all about. I want to share the goodness of this fruit with our bodies for us to be healthy.
