The sugar apple is a tropical fruit that has a custardy white flesh covered by a prehistoric like skin. Its scientific name is Annona squamosa. The flesh is segmented, creamy, white, and very sweet. The sugar apple belongs to the family Annonaceae, which is also known as the Annona family. It is the most popular fruit in the Annona genus, so it is extensively grown around the tropical regions of the world. This has led it to receive many names besides "sugar apple" such as: "sweetsop" in English and "cherimoya" or "anĂ³n" in Spanish. It is used fresh and in certain sweet recipes. The skin, seeds, and central core of the fruit are inedible. They also have a lot of seeds, with almost each segment of the flesh having 1 seed.
