I have grown, fruited and sold sugar apples in South Florida for many years. My fruit have seeds although I once grew a seedless variety which produced small inferior fruits. Other annonas that I have fruited here include Guanabana, Ilama, Atemoya and Rollinia deliciosa. We have the best climate in the mainland USA for these fruits.

I’ve tried soursop in Costa Rica; it was called guanabana there. I really liked it! And when I went to Zengo in Gallery Place in DC, they were actually using soursop in their red snapper ceviche! I haven’t had the pleasure of sampling sugar apple, unfortunately.

We eat the sugar apple (or “atis”) in the Philippines and don’t mind the seeds one bit. They are easy to spit out. Hope you can find one to try because they are so good! If not, hop over to Vancouver because they are sometimes sold at the farmer’s markets. Another fruit with similar flesh (but more fibrous) and a little less seed count is soursop (guyabano), which is another must-try.
