Tropical Variety Box Pro Tips

Soursop, also also known as Annona muricata is native to tropical regions of the Americas and the Caribbean. Our soursop is organically grown and cultivated from the Caribbean Island of Grenada. This is one of the most popular "super-fruits."

The fragrance and flavor of a soursop is tropical and floral. Despite its name it tends to be more  sweet than sour. Its flavor is very hard to pinpoint, but many compare the flavor to a combination of pineapple, banana and papaya. The texture is fibrous, pulpy and juicy. 

Soursop, highly revered for its anti-carcinogenic properties. It is a powerful antioxidant as well. The vits in this fruit may stimulate the production of white blood cells, while the concentration of antioxidants may help neutralize free radicals. Soursop is available year round.

The color of the skin may darken slightly, and there may be "scars" but these factors DO NOT correlate to the quality of the fruit inside the skin. There are many ways to consume soursop. The most common way is to break it open with the hands and consume the white flesh. It is not recommended to consume the seeds.

This fruit will arrive ripe enough to eat right away, but Passion Fruit is unique in that optimal ripeness depends on personal preference. The smoother the skin, the more sour the flavor.

The easiest way to consume this is to slice it open and scoop out the pulp. The seeds ARE edible, and adds a pleasant crunch. This fruit makes one of the best tropical juices ever! We blend ours with both the Pulp & Seed to maximize the health benefits.

The seed is very soft/delicate so be gentle biting into the flesh.
