The cherimoya is a heart-shaped, apple-sized fruit with a thin shell. The skin has a kind of scale pattern. Inside are many black kernels, the size of coffee beans, embedded in bright, soft flesh.
In the trade mostly unripe fruits are offered, which are to be recognized by a hard, green shell. The cherimoya is ready to eat when its skin is slightly blackish and gives way to light pressure.
To eat, cut the length of the cherimoya and remove the fruit stalk. The meat can be spooned out easily. Something annoying are the many cores inside. The flesh is creamy soft and tastes pleasantly aromatic, slightly tart after pineapple, pear or mango, slightly cinnamon.
