Sour Sop Encounter!

There are so many different types of tropical fruit....most we've never heard of.

I've had sour sop ice cream before and thought it was good but never the fruit itself.

So my dear friend Addy sent me over a half of sour sop to try. After getting the instructions on the fruit I peeled it and began pulling it apart. The flesh was similar to maybe raw fish texture but smells very fruity!

There are tons of seeds and each one has to be removed by hand.....can't eat them.

I think it tastes good and the texture isn't that bad either. Addy said try blending it up into a smoothy so I did that and added a small amount of soy milk, ice cubes and a couple tablespoons of sugar to help the sour side of things.

I like it but I am drinking it slow......the smoothy texture reminds me of drinking blended bananas and I really like the taste.

I'll try to explain the flavor a bit-

Peaches, green apple, green pineapple, and throw in a little rhubarb. Hard to describe.

The kids all declared "YUCK!"

But really they only smelled it.

I would eat this again or put it in smoothies.....nice taste and much different that anything I've had yet.
