A large green fruit native to tropical North and South America. It belongs to the Annonaceae family, which includes custard apple and cherimoya. If hard, store the fruit at room temperature until it gives a little when squeezed. The pulp is creamy in color and texture. It is often used to make sorbets, ice creams, and fruit smoothies. Neither the skin nor the large black seeds are edible. The frozen pulp is sold in some Latin American grocery stores.
