In Tagalog, i grew up calling it Atis fruit. My gf who never had it before until we started dating (we have a tree at my house) tried it and its now one of her favorite fruits! Sour sop is one of my personal favorites!

This fruit originated from South America and was first brought to Philippines via Manila Galleon Trade between Mexico and Filipinas from 1565 to 1815 thus, the fruit cultivation thrive and eventually spread all over tropical and sub-tropical Asia. In the Philippines we named it Atis derived from the word Ata or Atha which native Central and South Americans named this fruit.

I totally forgot about sugar apples until seeing your video... thank you for bringing back childhood memories.

I’m Montagnard indigenous I love this kinh of fruit , montagnard jarai trib we called boh siep it’s very sweet.

I have a sugar apple tree that I bought in the fall. It has fruit on it. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that it had both varieties on the tree. I thought that some of them got diseased because they were very dark brown. I pulled them off but then I finally realized they were the purple variety. Only two of those left but hopefully I will get a second flush in December as you mentioned. I also wasn't aware that they fruit twice.

I had a sugar apple tree in my yard when i was a kid in Key West!

Amazing fruit. Tropical fruits are wonderful and many varieties 👍 Must appreciate nature!

So much wonderful fruits and vegetables originally from South America, truly a sort of paradise many years ago.

We call it "ATIS" in Cebu City, Philippines... it is a very sweet, delicious fruit with lots of seeds

In Colombia we call it Chirimoya...It was my dad's favorite fruit...It's delicious🤤

In Thailand they called Noinah..! In my mom’s garden there were four, five trees. It has long black seeds..! Sweet...!

In Taiwan they called it sugar Apples, very delicious,and sweet even though lots of seeds ,my ward and me love to eat it ❤❤❤!

Eating one while watching this. It tastes so good! I have four plants and this is the second year they've bore fruit. They're only three years old.

In Thailand we called them “Noi Naa”. They test sweet and delicious. I just love them a lot.

My family and I are now outside picking sweet sops and decided to look up the nutritional benefits. Found this. Nice.

Thank you author for this nostalgic trip to childhood days. We grew up stealing these fruits from the neighbour’s orchards until they were ripe to eat. We would scoop out the seeds and try to repack the outside back again, still hanging on their trees to avoid detection of theft by the neighbour who inevitably always found out our tricks and would come rushing to mum to complain by grabbing our earlobes! How could you resist these fruits with a bombshell of a taste looking like grenades? The repacking exercise was always fruitless!

El anon! i grew up eating these in the backyard of our house in Cuba. Delicious fruit.

Thanks for this lovely video..I have green sugar apple trees in my garden.. i love the fruit its delicious specially ones that have ripened on the tree and you get to pick it just before ants get to it 😊

I have sweet memories of Sugar Apples...My great great grandapa & g. g. grandama have a sugar apples farm & they have really big big sugar apples...& one sugar apple is enough for lunch...

we call it banmewa here in nepal and this is my favourite fruit since childhood

In India it is called as custard apple, sitaphal, and sharifa... Sweet and really very healthy

I have a green one in my backyard in Florida! Damn rats took some of my small crop. It's a young tree. They benefit greatly from fertilizer. Mine survived hurricane Irma. Good eating! Wish I could find them in stores!

My annona trees are fruiting, so I Had to go back and check out some more sugar Apple videos from truly tropical 🙃🙃🙃😄😄

I’m Haitian and I’m telling you this cachiman fruit is the best you could taste wow 😮 love it

In pakistan we call it shareefa in our native Urdu language and has amazing taste ,I have couple of green sugar apple trees in my backyard ❤️

I love sweet apples I had some plants in my back yard I remember how I picked the sweet apples we enjoyed them very much

Love this fruit, sitaphal Very custardy and sweet Grows in India a lot

they are awesome fruits. We have a lot in Jamaica and they grown to the size of a small watermelon lol. AKA sweetsop. awesome fruits. very sweet.

One of the best most productive fruits for central florida for container growing. Also very easy tree to grow from seed. I find the taste to be like a sweet pear. Needs to be protected from freezing weather and especially frost.

In the central mountains of Costa Rica we have. ...big big anomas gren color and very sweet. ...

Love the smell when they're ripe and the sweetness. The three my neighboor had was taller but I've seen different kinds. Love this video!!

Thank you for this very informative video. I grew up in the tropics. We have two very large Custard apple trees. The fruits were huge. From memory, they were sweet and sour. Now in Australia, exotic fruits are rare, and I don't go out of my way to locate them. Then by chance I found a tiny sad looking Custard Apple, or I thought it was. I bought it and lo and behold, it tastes nothing like a Custard Apple ! Now I realized that it could have been a Sugar Apple. It is very sweet without any hint of sourness. The flesh is white, firm and segmented, with seeds actually look like those of Custard apples. I do have more than ten seeds from this one fruit. I will germinate them and see what it will become in a few years time.

In Taiwan, it called “釋迦” because it looks like Buddha head. In Asia super market, you can find snacks made of sugar apple from Taiwan

We call it Sweet Sop here in Jamaica.

MY FAVORITE FRUIT ! LOVE TO EAT THEM ! VERY DELICIOUS ! YUMMM !!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE HELPFUL VIDEO !

Loved eating this and all the other tropical fruits - grew up in Laos. :)

Next to julie mango, this is another favorite of mines.

My favorite fruit ever!

Sugar apple is really really good kind of fruit in the philippines. And we called it ATIS

This is my favorite fruit ever. Actually all the annonas are great tasting. I discovered this fruit about six years ago and I now have six trees in the ground and one in a pot.

We call it Chirimoya in Venezuela they’re my favorite fruits as you can tell by the profile pic :)

In indonesi we call it srikaya.love so much this fruit

The volume of your video drops at around 2:45. Apart from that it's a great informative video. Thank you!

I really thought this was an artichoke but I'm glad I watch the video to make sure my eyes were not playing tricks on me. I'm definitely going to have to try this.

In the Philippines we call it ATIS. It's sweet and juicy.

Here in Thailand we call them NOI NA " น้อยหน่า" . I have only one tree in my garden. It fruited so quick and much it's hard to keep up with eating them. When it's in season (mid summer) it's not unusual to have 200 plus fruits on that tree.

I live in Canada and I got one of these at a supermarket once... SO delicous!!!!!!!! But I have never seen them here again since then :(

In Indonesia we name it Srikaya, because of its sugary flavour, we often turn it into jam, and really tasty when eated with bread

Omg.. I miss my trees .. My favorite is th pink ones.. On the island of Zacatillo in El Salvador

Forgot what we call this but its so good and sweet

One of my favorite fruit.

in Guatemala we call them anonas. but they are i little different. cause yellow, white or pink is inside i love them

In Indonesia we call this fruit "sirkaya" I have 2 trees in my yard

Love annonas 😜😜😜😜😍😍😍😍

My favorite fruits as a child!

We have planted a dozen Sugar apple trees (one got fruits last year) in the back yard.

@Truly Tropical Annona squamosa is most commonly known as Sitaphal (English spelling can vary) throughout India. Sita (pronounced Seetha) is an Indian Hindu goddess and phal means fruit in Hindi. So literal translation is Sita's fruit. Some parts of northern India and Pakistan also call the fruit Sharifa and people in the eastern part call it Ata. Annona reticulata is known as Ramphal - Ram is another Indian god and Sita's husband - so literal translation is Ram's fruit. Sitaphal is more popular overall.

In French west Indies I have heard it called "pomme canelle" which I think sort of means cinnamon apple, I think, but I have never tasted any cinnamon in these.

I have a few trees of these in the little lawn in front of my house in Malaysia. They grow more or less by themselves, no need any special care. They taste alright. Although I must say, out of all the fruits I grow there, the pineapple is the most amazing one... And by a huuuuuge margin. Inside, very light yellow flesh, almost the colour of a pear, close to no fiber (compared to store bought), and generous, dripping wet, super sweet bites, with a very strong pineapple taste. Just.... Incredible .... Super simple to grow too! Just chop the leaves from a pineapple, leave about 1cm of the main "body", and pluck it in the ground. Roots will come out it! You just need a very good pineapple to start with ;) Delicious!

Very excellent documentary..........narrative & videography ! In Trinidad West Indies we call it sugar apple. Custard apple is significantly bigger with a smooth but patterned skin. Kashima, yellow when ripe with soft skin, is bigger and is a wild variety, shaped like an artichoke. Too, Monkey apple is round, even bigger than Kashima, and has an orange, more fibrous inside. Well, I suppose everyone knows Soursop or Guanabana. Respect. Trinidad & Tobago.

It is called "seeta-fal" in India

In Jamaica it is called "Sweetsop"

Very tasty red sugar apples too sweet thank you for your upload videos

My favourite!❤️❤️ We call it custard apple.

We call it atis in Philippines, I really love this fruits.

custard apple!

my grandmother has a bunch of sugar apple tree growing in the front of her yard in Cat Island

They usually take a long time to ripe so I learned as a kid to put them inside a bin of uncooked rice and they'll ripen perfectly in 2-3 days.

In Indonesia we call it "SRIKAYA"

Its called Sharifa in Nepal.

Love from Nigeria,

Nice trees! Can't wait for tree to look like yours.

Mouthwatering fruits. I am growing two sugar apple plants in containers in Chicago. During winter time I move them indoors. Not sure if they ever bear any fruit. One is nearly 2 yrs old and the other one is 6 months old. Do you know what type of fertilizer I should be using for these plants? My other question is: will ship the fruits to Chicago? If so, how much it will cost me? Please let me know.

I don't break it apart when I eat it. I remove each skin part one by one first exposing the sweet fleshy part.

Grows in adundance in India, delicious fruit. My favourite, only next to sapota.

I love sugar apple most.

In Honduras 🇭🇳 it’s called Anonas

In Texas you call it "where the heck can you buy one!?" Because I CAN'T FIND ANY!! :(

In Somalia we call it canuuni it's so sweet and delicious wow

I love this fruit, I used to throw its seed outside my house in hopes it one will grow and it did.Sadly the plant died a few years back.

Very helpful,and interesting. I especially enjoyed all the background you gave about the fruit.Where it originated from,the names people have for it,and how to eat the fruit. Now I think I want to plant a tree. Thank you for sharing 👍🌱

Chirimoya in ecuador!

Love sugar apple, they’re the best

Love custard apple, my favorite Love your work 👍

In the Caribbean we called it Sweet sop. And it Mmmmmm.

It should be called "Atis" in America, they likes to call everything apple, sugar apple, apple pear, pineapple. Does it looks like apple to you.

I look for this fruit for a long time,I come from Cuba to USA 46 year ago and I love to eat this fruit and has been 35 years that I do not eat it and unavaile to find here in florida were iive.

I love this fruit a lot.make Shrikhand also ( desert ) so good 😊.

Seetaphal.

Do you sell these? I used to enjoy these growing up in St Lucia. My Aunt has two huge trees. We call them Sugar Apple or Pom’ Canel.

We sometimes we refer them to the hand grenade fruits because they look them. The only thing I don’t like about them is that they have too many seeds. They grow easily and well in Florida because of its sandy soil and warm weather.

It's looking delicious I really like to eating sugar apple I Love it enjoy watching greating from Philippines let's connect each other
