Bonus tip: Amazing anti-cancer fruit
Custard apples contain anti-cancer properties called acetogenins. Acetogenins are very long chain fatty acids and over 400 acetogenins have been identified. Currently the Annonaceae remain a ‘hot’ family for the discovery of new anti-cancer drugs.
You can buy custard apple/sugar apple at most good Asian stores. It is also available in Florida between August and October.
Use sugar apples in your shakes, smoothies, deserts and ice cream. Enjoy!
