Questions about Sugar-apple
How can you tell when a sugar-apple is ripe?
The segmented skin gives slightly when you press it gently, and the fruit has a sweet fragrance. If it is still firm, leave it at room temperature until it softens; avoid fruit with split, mouldy or badly bruised skin.
How do you eat a sugar-apple?
Wash it, break it open or cut it in half, then scoop out the soft flesh with a spoon and spit out the glossy black seeds. Don’t eat the seeds or crush them into the pulp.
Can you eat sugar-apple raw?
Yes. The fragrant, creamy flesh is usually eaten fresh; remove every seed as you go, since the seeds are not edible.
How should you store sugar-apple?
Keep an unripe fruit at room temperature until it yields gently to pressure. Once ripe, refrigerate it and eat it within a day or two, as the soft flesh bruises easily.
What can you make with sugar-apple?
Seeded pulp is lovely chilled on its own, or blended into a smoothie, milkshake or ice cream. Strain it if you want a smoother drink, since the pulp can be fibrous.
Can you freeze sugar-apple pulp?
Yes: scoop out the flesh, remove the seeds carefully, and freeze the pulp in a sealed container. Thaw it in the fridge and use it in smoothies or desserts; the texture may be softer after thawing.
Is sugar-apple a good source of vitamin C?
Yes. A typical fruit portion of 56.3 mg provides plenty of vitamin C, and sugar-apple is also a source of fibre, with 4.4 g per 100 g.
