Cherimoya is a tropical fruit native to the Andes mountains in South America. It has a green, scaly skin and a creamy, white flesh that is sweet and custard-like in texture. The fruit is often described as having a flavor reminiscent of a blend of banana, pineapple, and strawberry. Cherimoya is typically eaten fresh, but it can also be used in smoothies, desserts, and salads. This fruit grows on the cherimoya tree, which thrives in warm, subtropical climates. Cherimoya is rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C, and contains dietary fiber. It is usually harvested in late spring to early summer when it is ripe and ready to eat.
