They are eaten fresh and also used to prepare juices and various desserts. The rind, which contains the bitter milky juice, is inedible, so usually, the fruit is cut in half and the pulp is selected with a spoon.

5. Sugar Apple

The other name of Sugar Apple is Cherimoya. When you cut the fruit, you will smell strawberry and pineapple combined with coconut and banana. The inside of the cherimoya looks very interesting: the white fragrant pulp is eaten, and the middle of the fruit is made up of hard black seeds, a dense core, and fibers.
