Soursop

soursop > every other fruit highkey. you've never lived until you've tried soursop.

treat the fruit like you would an avocado; wait till it’s soft and ripe to eat. eating too soon, while it’s hard, is unpleasant. not toxic, just unpleasant.

if i could only choose one thing to eat for the rest of my life, it would be soursop. it tastes like heaven and clouds on a spoon. best way to eat soursop: get all the flesh into a blender, mixed with one banana, milk, agave, ice, and one other fruit of your choice, and blend together. just banana and soursop with milk and agave is perfect enough. its the best yogurt/smoothie blend in the world. perfect baby food or snack as well.
every part of the tree smells incredible. you could scratch the bark, or the leaves and you could smell it's distinct sweet aroma!
