Heart shaped fruit

A few days ago I found this cute heart shaped fruit that I had never seen before!
I fell in love with its cuteness and unique texture.
It's called "Cherimoya".
It has a velvety and very delicate flesh inside with big and hard seeds
and so sweet and yummy!
I want to grow the seeds, but the seeds may not like the cold weather of Canada,
But it's worth trying!

    I used to have a cherimoya tree in my yard when I lived in the tropics. They are yummy!

    My favorite though has to be mango. Real mangos not the horrible unripe ones you get up here.

    Sweet, delicious, bright orange and juicy.........I can taste them now.

    Great! Chile, my country is one of the largest producers in the world (here we called chirimoya with "i")". Since childhood I have always grown up with its very special flavor and the smell of its trees, so delicious, without doubts is my favorite.
    There is a very common dessert called "Chirimoya Alegre" consisting of chirimoya chunks in orange juice. :) Sorry my english and congrats for your wonderfull work and blog, Regards from Chile ;)

    I L-O-V-E chirimoyas !!! Everytime I'm in Peru I have to have Chirimoya (it's spelled with an i there too) ice cream, it's so creamy and delicious. I even named my vintage Etsy shop after it: LaChirimoya.etsy.com : )

    Hi ! This is the first comment I leave on your blog. I love your work : each time, your creation are full of poetry and make me dream of fantastic world.

    I come from a french island were cherimoya is commonly named "coeur de boeuf". That means "ox's heart" because of the heart shape of this fruit. I can't explain why we made the comparison with the heart of a ox, perhaps because it was the biggest animal encountered in house at the time of my grandfather.

    To answer your question : my favorite fruits are mangos, bananas (but the very little variety), letchis and longans.

    (I apology to you for my english)

    Happy New Year from Savoie in France.

    Dear Afi,

    I love this fruit!
    I believe it is similar to the custard-apple as we call in India or 'sitaphal' the local name. I used to have the tree in my grandma's place. Thanks for the post!

    A graviola ou pinha da Guiné-Bissau (Annona muricata) é uma planta originária das Antilhas, onde se encontra em estado silvestre. No Brasil, tornou-se subespontânea na Amazônia, sendo cultivada principalmente nos estados do Nordeste. Prefere climas úmidos, baixa altitude, e não exige muito em relação a terrenos.Suas folhas tem propriedades de combater o câncer.Bjs
