Custard apple

This is a common fruit that we see it in most gardens. I have yet to see our tree yielding.
Custard apples are fleshy and sweet. The only problem is they have too many seeds and eating them is not as smooth as the flesh it has.
Do you have another name for them? Would take the trouble to eat with all those seeds?

@allknowing
We have 4-5 trees and all bear fruit in a big quantity so there are more custard apples than our need.
Even after sending them to relatives,friends and neighbour's many are left.

It easily grows in our yard but now we don't have a tree anymore. I like eating it because it's delicious but I hate that it has lots of seeds. We call it ATIS here

I will eat only if they have big eyes as they are called. Bigger the eyes lesser are the seeds.

Strange that they are expensive since they must be growing there.

They do not taste good if they are eaten before they ripen

As others have said, we call that Atis and I've been buying them (3 pieces at a time) since they became available in the market. I save some of the seeds because our cat likes to play with them.

You should go for those with big eyes as we call them as bigger the eyes there will be less seeds

@Fleura These get over ripe and rot too and so travel may not suit them.

@allknowing I doubt it. But then bananas can't either, and they are common in the shops.

They are nice to eat provided you do not mind the loads of seeds that they have.
