posh-té Annona scleroderma, a minor fruit of the family Annonaceae, is found in Mexico and Guatemala. The green fruits may be up to 8 cm (3") in diameter. The white pulp inside the thick peel is sweet and aromatic, but not so marvellously good that consumption of this fruit, despite its attractively odd Spanish name, is likely to extend beyond its native region.
