cherimoya
The cherimoya, also spelled chirimoya, is the fruit of the species ''Annona cherimola'', which generally is thought to be native to Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia then transported to the Andes and Central America.〔〔 Today, cherimoya is grown throughout South Asia, Central America, South America, California, Hawaii, southern Europe and northern Africa.〔
Mark Twain called the cherimoya "the most delicious fruit known to man." The creamy texture of the flesh gives the fruit its secondary name, custard apple.
==Description==
Cherimoya is a deciduous or semi-evergreen shrub or small tree reaching 9 m (30 feet) tall. The leaves are alternate, simple, oblong-lanceolate, 7–15 cm long and 6–10 cm broad. The flowers are produced in small clusters, each flower 2–3 cm across, with six petals, yellow-brown, often spotted purple at the base.〔
The fruit is oval, often slightly oblate, 10–20 cm long and 7–10 cm in diameter, with a smooth or slightly tuberculated skin. The fruit flesh is white and creamy, and has numerous dark brown seeds embedded in it.〔 When ripe, the skin is green and gives slightly to pressure. Some characterize the fruit flavor as a blend of banana, pineapple, papaya, peach, and strawberry. The fruit can be chilled and eaten with a spoon, which has earned it another nickname, the ice cream fruit. Indeed, in Peru, it is commonly used in ice creams and yogurt.
