Atemoya

An atemoya is normally heart-shaped or rounded, with pale-green, easily bruised, bumpy skin. Near the stem, the skin is bumpy as it is in the sugar-apple, but become smoother like the cherimoya on the bottom. The flesh is not segmented like that of the sugar-apple, bearing more similarity to that of the cherimoya. It is very juicy and smooth, tasting slightly sweet and a little tart, reminiscent of a piña colada . The taste also resembles vanilla from its sugar-apple parent. This fruit is very rare in availability at this moment. There is a small season in which only a dozen fruits ripen at a time on the tree. A small box normally contains 5 to 6 fruits depending on the size and weight.
