Neighboor gave us 2 soursops where the auntie said it's not local but origin from Sabah. Mum stored in fridge for few days and its skin turns black.
Today, i peeled it off while it's cold. The flesh of the fruit consists of an edible white pulp and a core of undigestible black seeds. The flesh's texture is pudding-liked, white in color, and taste like sweet mango! Compared to dragon fruit which contains uncountable seeds, seeds of soursop are kind of frustrated because they are large in size! I cant digest but to spit them out.
After some research done, I had found out that soursop is native to Carribean, Central and South America, and is commonly grown in South-East Asia. It is adapted to areas of high humidity and relatively warm winters, temperatures below 5 °C will cause damage to leaves and small branches, and temperatures below 3 °C can be fatal.
Nutritionally, the fruit is high in carbohydrates, particularly fructose. The fruit also contains significant amounts of vitamin C, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2. People in Caribbean believe that laying the leaves of soursop on a bed below a person with a fever will break the fever by the next morning. Boiling the leaves and drinking as a tea are believed to induce sleep too!
