Soursop, or Annona muricata, is an incredibly delicious and special type of fruit that is native to tropical regions such as Southeast Asia and South America. It is also known as graviola, guanabana, and custard apple. It has a creamy and custard-like texture with a flavor that is a combination of pineapple, strawberry, and citrus.
These seedlings are a great way to grow your own delicious and special fruit tree at home! And, while these seedlings are grown from a large and delicious fruit, keep in mind that the plants grown from these seeds may not look exactly like the parent plants. This is because of something called genetic variation, which causes slight differences in the characteristics of each plant.
When you have two plants, however, you get the benefit of a larger yield of fruit because of cross-pollination. Plus, you have two plants, so if a novice gardener kills one, you still have a second one to depend on!
Soursop fruit has also been studied for its anti-cancer properties. Studies have found that soursop contains compounds that are believed to be beneficial in fighting cancer. Here are some links to peer-reviewed articles about soursop's anti-cancer properties:
