Do you get custard apples in your place? Do you like it and eat it?

Hi We do have custard apple trees in our garden. It is not only tasty but healthy too. Its seeds are used in treating the intestinal worms in dogs. Its tender leaves along with the leaves of guduchi is used in treating diabetes. We will eat the fruit as it is and do not use it in milkshakes or in any other form

This is something I have never heard of, but something that would be interesting to try. I really love all of the wonderful new things i am learning about the world around me, from the people here on Mylot. I love coomputers, and I love the internet. Maybe there is an Indian restaurant around here that can offer these. I'll have to look.

i miss this fruit, it's very seldom that you can buy custard apples in our market and malls, what i love to this fruits is it's sweetness and a little bit tangee in the end..

Hallo Buchi-bulla, in the Philippines, custard apple is called Guyabano. I find it sometiems weet and sometimes sour. Just like in your place, we make milkshake out of it, ice cream, ice candy, juice, or eat it as it is - fresh. Most times, i am too lazy to make anythng out of it, i will just eat it fresh. No hassles and still the vitamins are there.

Hello, custard apples is also available here in the Philippines. And we called its "atis" that's how we called it. Anyways i also like it but not that much coz i could only eat a few of that fruit that is why i dont like it that much. Although it tastes sweet and juicy. But there a lot of seeds on that fruit which me feel disappointed.

Hi Buchi, once I see the picture attached here I think it is soursop at first. It looks exactly the same as the soursop if I don't have a close watch after it is enlarged. Yeah, custard apple is a delicious fruit. Custard apple is quite in my country. And many people in my place have one or more in their house compound. I did plant some earlier. They are fruits with skin in green or purple color. I like the purple color one. Seems more tasty We just eat it raw and never use it to make milk shake or ice cream before. Yeah, too many seeds cuts down my appetite to it. That's why I prefer to grow vegetable plants instead. I can get it in the local market in case I crave for it. Happy posting

i do eat custard apples but i find there are too many seeds. they are readily available in the markets and supermarkets. there are custard apple juices. normally i eat the custard apples while watching the television or after a meal when chatting.

Hi Buchi, Happy new year. :) I love seethaphals, and end up eating it on sly because invariably my nose gets blocked, and I get headache, and give my father a few. :)

hi,Buchi,i knaow very well about the tree,fruiting season,different varieties available in different areas...as my job is touring the farmers fields,hilly areas etc,i used to eat whebever and wherever available.. You have any idea about RAMAPHALAM,which is just resemble ro sethaphal in shape and taste,but outer surface is smooth and less seeds with red color. wish you happy Ugadi.

hi,bulla,i know seethaphal which is a seasonal fruit and also we have one tree in our house premises.We prefer to ripe on tree itself and harvest the fruits.That taste is very good than artificial ripen fruits.It gives more cooling to body.Happy mylotting.

Wow..its my favorite. We had a tree at home and it was very sweet fruit. Unfortunately i dont have it now. We remove the seeds and add them in kesari(sweet milk). And we do the fruit salad with it. But we get it in seasons rite not always.

Hi Buchi happy new year dear, so you are going to give us ice cream from Seetaphal, this variety with many black seeds , we call 'badhel', there is another with less seeds, very sweet, very strong flavor, we call 'rampha' My wife never made any dish, but we eat them , drinking water immediately causes cold i am told Bhuwan
