Sugar-apple

Native to the tropical areas of the Americas, sugar apples are in the cherimoya (Annona) and soursop family. About the size of a baseball these guys have a sweet, soft, juicy, grainy flesh and a slight floral flavor around hard seeds. They are eaten by squeezing the fruit in the center, causing the segmented skin to spread open. Found at an unnamed fruit stand in Homestead, FL. Photo by Chris Mathews.
