Do you know what this fruit is?

 Hey Everyone,

I hope you are all having a wonderful day. Today, I had the opportunity to try something new. I would like to introduce to you to.... drum roll please... the Custard Apple!

The Custard Apple

The Custard Apple is a fruit generally grown in subtropical climates. The skin covering the fruit is thin, bumpy and almost has a leafy sort of texture and appearance. When a Custard Apple is ripe it will turn a yellowish brown colour, and the fruit under the skin will become soft. The texture reminds me of a pear. It was slightly grainy and slimy, and had a similar taste; with after taste that I can only describe is nutty.

Peeling off the leafy looking skin

I had purchased this particular fruit after dinner with friends. They had both eaten the Custard Apple before and encouraged me to give it a try. While waiting for the bus, stories of bugs, or orange worms being found in the fruit were being told. I mean, who doesn't want to find extra protein in the fruit? (by the way, this is extreme sarcasm)... but look, no worms! I'm good!

Eat the flesh of the fruit and watch out for seeds

This fruit was different, but in a pleasant sort of way. I'm glad that I tried it, and enjoyed it. I encourage you, should you ever find yourself looking at one of these fruits,  pick one up and experience it for yourself. Live a little and try something new.

Anyway, until next time... Take care!
