The technique when buying these fruits is to chose the lightest green color that you can find, still firm when checking it, still UNRIPE. More often than not, they ripened the following day or the next. Buy them ripe if you plan on eating them on the same day, bit if not, then better not. Just like with most fruits, over-riped ones tend to get tiny worms inside. How they get there, I have no idea.
I know a friend who found some worms when she's almost done eating another fruit!
Breakfast anyone?
One of my sisters bought them the other day and as most of them ripened overnight, we have been trying to finish eating them from yesterday. There's just a couple now that are not ripe. Perhaps later today if am lucky.
Accordingly, the Spanish Galleons brought these fruits to the Philippines, so is it safe to say that these came from Europe? Although I saw some in Barcelona before, it is also known in Portugal. As for a lot of common plants in the Philippines today, a lot of similar plants are scattered in Lisbon.
Known with many names, it can be found worldwide. Known as atis in the Philippines, the distinction from other varieties is its' rough and broken outer skin. Compared to what we call its' cousin "ANONAS", who have a smooth skin. The atis is much sweeter than anonas. Although atis is mostly dark green to lighter green, anonas can have green, yellow and orange in color when ripe.
Bon appetit!
The benefits
I just love them and has never bothered before to check what's in it, vitamins-wise so it came as a surprise to read the list.
The highest content is Vitamin C, and the next is Manganese. Athough Magnesium is listed, what is it rich of is Vitamin B, not as high as Vit. C, but this fruit have Vits. B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B9. Although they have different functions, B6 have the strongest punch, and Vit. B12 (not included to the list content).
As a high enery fruit, it also have IRON, POTASSIUM and PHOSPHOROUS. Keep in mind though that ALCOHOL lessens Vit. B absorption.

Ahhhh, so it's called Sweetsop! Hahaha I actually planted a tree sapling of it about 7 months ago in my front yard and it's growing nicely! I know what the plant is but no idea of the name.
Thanks for talking about this! Can't wait till my own Sweetsop tree bears fruit!

The thing with this plant is that it attracts those insects that leave white stuff in its' leaves...they are itchy.
