Sugar apple is also known as "Custard apple", "Cherimoya", and "Sweetsop". In my country, it is called "Aata". Sugar apple is green in color, medium in size, very sweet in taste, and cone-shaped. It can also be round in shape. It has leathery skin and creamy flesh. Due to its creamy texture, it is known as "custard apple." There are several soft cells in this fruit with seeds.

✅ Have you eaten this fruit before? What benefits have you noticed after eating this fruit?

---

Yes, I have eaten this fruit before. After eating this fruit, we are in a good mood and feel more energetic because it is a good source of energy. Besides these noticed benefits, there are also many other health benefits of this fruit. Such as:

1. Sugar apple contains many anti-oxidants (flavonoids, phenolic compounds, kaurenoic acid, and vitamin C), which help prevent the growth of tumors and minimize the risk of cancerous disease.

2. It is a very nutritious fruit. It contains potassium and magnesium, which reduce blood pressure levels and minimize the risk of heart attack, heart disease, and stroke.

3. Sugar apple contains high fiber and vitamin B, which are very conducive to our digestive system. It stimulates our metabolism, ensures the optimal conversion of food to energy, enables the unhindered passage of nutrients, and protects the body from constipation.

4. It is also a good source of anti-oxidants and vitamin C, which detoxify our body and boost our immune system.

5. Sugar apple is a low glycemic-index fruit with polyphenolic antioxidants. These elevate insulin production and glucose absorption. So that it keeps diabetes in check.

6. Sugar apple also protects our eyes from oxidative damage and lowers the risk of poor eyesight, vision loss, age-related macular degeneration, and cataracts because it contains antioxidants (lutein and carotenes).

7. Sugar apples contain vitamin K and phosphorus. Both help to maintain healthy teeth and bones as well as prevent loss of bone density, bone weakness, and osteoporosis.

8. Sugar apple contains vitamin B6, which helps to create neurotransmitters, such as, serotonin and dopamine. Thereby, it elevates our mood, increases proper nerve signaling and concentration, and reduces symptoms of feeling low, sadness, or depression.

9. It is a good source of the simple sugars glucose and fructose, which sustain the body’s energy requirements. As it is rich in iron, it eliminates lethargy and provides us ample energy.

10. Sugar apple contains several anti-inflammatory compounds, such as flavonoids and kaurenoic acid. It reduces the risk of several chronic inflammatory conditions and possesses anti-inflammatory effects.
