About Custard-apple, (bullock's-heart), raw
The custard apple (Annona reticulata), also called the bullock's heart or ramphal, is a sweet tropical fruit with knobby, reddish-brown or pale green skin and soft, creamy flesh that lives up to its name. Native to the tropical Americas and West Indies and now grown across India, Southeast Asia, and other warm regions, it belongs to the Annona family and is a close relative of the cherimoya and sugar apple.
Its fragrant, custard-like pulp has a mild, sugary flavor and a smooth, almost grainy texture studded with hard dark seeds. Custard apples are a good source of vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and magnesium for their natural sweetness. The ripe fruit is eaten fresh, scooped straight from the skin with a spoon, or blended into milkshakes, ice creams, and tropical desserts. The bitter seeds and skin are not eaten and should be discarded, as the seeds are toxic.
Choose firm, unblemished fruit and let it soften at room temperature until it gives to gentle pressure, then refrigerate the ripe custard apple and enjoy it within a day or two, since it turns quickly once fully ripe.
