Custard Apple - 400g - Certified Organic (limited availability)

Grown on certified organic orchards in Myocum, by  the team at Conscious Ground, in the subtropical hinterland behind Byron Bay - the terroir the Annona family actually wants: humid, frost-free, volcanic soil.

400g approx 2-3 fruits.

What they taste like
Custard by name, custard by nature - the flesh is soft, granular and sweet, somewhere between banana, pineapple and vanilla custard, with a faint tang underneath. Texture is spoonable, not crunchy; think ripe pear crossed with yoghurt.

How to use

• Halve and eat straight with a spoon - the classic way
• Scoop the flesh into smoothies, lassis, or yoghurt bowls
• Blend and freeze for a dairy-free sorbet
• Fold through a fruit salad or serve with a squeeze of lime
• Discard the glossy black seeds and the skin - neither is edible

How to store
Firm fruit ripens at room temperature over 2–4 days - it's ready when it yields gently to thumb pressure, like a ripe avocado. Once ripe, move it to the fridge and eat within 1–2 days; the flesh browns and softens fast. Don't refrigerate while still firm — it stalls ripening and dulls the flavour.
