Cherimoya (Annona cherimola)
The cherimoya (Annona cherimola), another delicious fruit of the custard apple family (Annonaceae) native to the northern Andes of South America. The creamy white flesh has the flavor of banana, vanilla, pineapple and mango. The fruits are used in salads, drinks, desserts, ice creams and sherbets. I ate some of these last year… anyone growing them around here? Please respond (off list?).
