Custard Apple (La Fruta Corazon) - A Unique Flavor Experience The Custard Apple (Annona reticulata), also known as Bullock's Heart and Corazon in the West Indies, thrives in the tropical climates of the Caribbean, South America, and beyond. Despite its unassuming appearance, this "ugly duckling" of the custard family boasts a unique, sweet, and creamy flavor likened to a diverse array of cheesecakes. Its captivating exterior, ranging from smooth red to purple skin, encloses a white to deep red, custard-like flesh that promises a refreshing and mildly sweet taste. Perfect for eating fresh, the Custard Apple also shines in desserts and homemade ice cream creations. Discover the seasonal availability of our Custard Apples by consulting our SEASONAL GUIDE.

Season : Spring Custard Apple Pro Tips Custard Apples are shipped just before peak ripeness and may take 3-7 days at room temperature to achieve peak ripeness. They are best enjoyed when soft to the touch. The skin's color may darken as it ripens, but this doesn't affect the delicious, creamy flesh inside. Open it up, remove the seeds, and savor the tropical flavor.
