SUGAR APPLE Meaning and
Definition
-
Sugar apple is a tropical fruit that belongs to the Annona family and is scientifically known as Annona squamosa. It is commonly referred to as sugar apple due to its sweet and custard-like flavor. The fruit is indigenous to tropical regions such as South America, the Caribbean, and parts of Asia. With its distinct appearance, the sugar apple has a round or heart-shaped exterior that is covered with bumpy, green scales, giving it an exotic and unique appearance.
The flesh of the sugar apple is soft, creamy, and yellowish-white in color. Embedded in the flesh are numerous black seeds that should not be consumed, as they are non-edible. The fruit has a delightful fragrance that is mildly sweet and a taste that can be described as a mix of banana, mango, and pineapple. It is often enjoyed in its raw form by scooping out the flesh, but it can also be used in the preparation of desserts, juices, ice creams, and smoothies.
In addition to its delectable taste, sugar apples are nutrient-dense, providing vitamins A and C, as well as potassium and dietary fiber. These nutrients support a healthy immune system, improve digestion, aid in maintaining healthy skin, and promote overall well-being.
The term "sugar apple" may also refer to the "pinha" fruit in Brazil and parts of Portugal, but the two fruits do exhibit slight differences in appearance and taste.
