Anona/ChuChu Fruit

Anyone know what this fruit is like? It looks like a cross between a dragon egg and a pine cone. Does it taste good?

It's also known as Custard fruit as it tastes like custard. Give it a go.

Found out that they are much better fully ripe. My doctor also says they have a wealth of health benefits. Thanks again.

They are best when you can eat them with a spoon.

My friends in the US are amazed when I tell them about the price of this fruit here because it's so low. I've read conflicting information about the caloric content - high or low? Most important is that it's high in magnesium, making it good for your heart muscle.
