Ok, most people know this fruit as the sugar apple. Really it is not at all like a northern apple, I think people just miss them a lot and used apple in the name. This fruit is exceptionally tasty. A ripe sugar apple separates naturally at the segments. Just pull it apart and scoop out the delicious custard like insides. Each segment surrounds a shiny black seed that you spit out. The pulp is worth the hassle. These fruits don't transport well, so unless you are in a tropical climate, you probably won't see one. Even here in Florida, these fruit sell for $4 to $6 lb. There are two kinds of sugar apple - one green and one red. That is the difference between them! They taste exactly the same. The red is prettier and sells for more but only because red is seen as more desireable in the Asian culture.
