The exotic fruit smelled sweet today, so we guessed that it was ripe. It was! The Chef took this cool zoom picture (above) and finally I had to grab it away and spoon in. The only hard part is eating around the big black seeds, which the Chef tells me are toxic. How exotic. I just read here, "The seeds, like those of other Annona species, are crushed and used as insecticide." eek! Now my tongue feels numb.
Mmmmmmmm. May I have a bite? No seeds, please.
ReplyDeleteMost plant seeds are somewhat poisonous or at least bad tasting.
ReplyDeleteIf they weren't, there'd never be any baby plants!
the english also decided to call this an "english custard apple" - leave it to them to stake their claim. :)
ReplyDeletecan't say i'm a big fan of the fruit, but then again i'm a sucker for barney's. ha ha.
miss you!
