Cherimoya

HOMEHOME

The Love Fruit.
Cherimoya is
the tastiest
fruit of the
Anon varieties
and comes
originally
from the Andes,
the mountain
area between
Colombia to
Bolivia, at an
altitude of
1000 to 2000m.

Nowadays the
fruit is
cultivated
world-wide in
tropical
mountains and
sub-tropical or
Mediterranean
areas. In parts
of the world
where it is too
hot to grow
cherimoyas
the atemoya
is cultivated.

The cherimoya
is called
the tree
of ice cream
and the fruits
taste like
pineapple,
mango and
strawberry!

Cherimoyas are
ripe within two
to three days
at room
temperature.
You should eat
ripe fruits
immediately.

Ripe fruits are
black-green and
give to slight
pressure, like
an avocado
or peach.

Cherimoyas are
very good for
hair and skin
and help built
your defense
system.

The hart shaped
cherimoya is
considered to
be a romantic
fruit. Great
to eat with
your boy or
girlfriend,
just like the
Incas did in
ancient times.
They used it as
an aphrodisiac
and to improve
fertility.
