Fun Fact: Atemoya is considered an ancient food from the Incas in South America!
Atemoya, native to Central and South America, especially countries like Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador, is a tropical delight.

The Atemoya boasts a unique, sweet, and creamy flavor reminiscent of a blend between strawberry and pineapple.

Atemoya Ripening Pro Tips
An Atemoya is ripe when it feels soft to touch, leaving an imprint upon pressure. Its skin may shift from green to yellow, or even black when cold, yet this doesn't compromise the fruit's quality. The ideal way to savor it is to break it open and relish the white flesh. However, it's crucial to avoid consuming the seeds inside.
