Origin: Annona spinescens, also known as orange soursop or red cherimoya, is native to the montane forests of the Andes in South America, from Brazil to Argentina. It is now widely cultivated for its edible fruits, and we're growing it here on our small South Florida farm!
Flavor Profile: This fruit's creamy texture is a delight. Its mild taste is reminiscent of pumpkin, and very subtle acidic hints of citrus accompany it.
How to Eat: Once the fruit is soft all over, cut it in half and eat with a spoon. Avoid eating the seeds. The thin skin is edible but has no distinct flavor. The softer you can allow the fruit to ripen, the more sweet it will taste.
Please Note: Orange Soursop is relatively small compared to other Annona varieties. It is comparable to a small Apple or a Plum.
Health Benefits:
Anti-Inflammatory- Packed with essential nutrients like potassium and magnesium, Orange Soursop helps reduce inflammation, supporting better blood pressure and circulation.
Immune Support- Loaded with vitamin C, it boosts your immune system, fortifying your body's defenses and aiding in warding off infections.
Heart Health- Its rich blend of potassium and magnesium promotes healthy blood pressure, contributing to cardiovascular wellness.
The total weight of the box varies depending on the size, shape, and mass of the fruit:
- One Fruit contains 1 piece of fruit (sizing varies)
-
Small Box contains up to 3-5 pounds
- Large Box contains up to 8-10 pounds
We ALWAYS recommend ordering a LARGE BOX for the best value, when compared to a Small Box. Because shipping, handling, and delivery are so expensive per package, the Large Box will contain more fruit and ultimately a better value.
*Please note: We use recycled plastic foams to protect these highly perishable fruits.*
