Comparing Annonas - Sugar apple, Cherimoya, Soursop | Similarities & Differences between the Annonas

Hello everyone, in this video I wanted to compare 3 of my favorite fruits part of the #Annonaceae family that often get confused for one another. 

The Annonaceae family is known for its fruits that consist of a ‘custard’ taste and for its unique & symmetrical fruits that are produced. Not only are these fruits attractive to the eye but are prized for there sweet and exotic taste that rivals to no other fruit on earth. 

The sugar apple (A. squamosa) is known for its bumpy surface and creamy white inside accompanied by many seeds. Sugar apple is unique with its chewy texture and juicy flavor.

A. cherimola or Cherimoya is better recognized for its smooth and scaled surface usually the shape of a heart. The inside is noticeably different as it is usually smoother profile than the sugar apple and stays together when eating. 

A. muricata or Soursop (Guanábana) is notorious for its size and shape. The fruit bears tiny spikes that are soft to the touch - but it’s size is goliath compared to that of the sugar apple and cherimoya. The soursop is also prized for its healing properties that are abundant in the fruit.

Out of the three Annonas compared I like soursop(Guanabana) due to the amount of fruit (pulp) you are able to extract and use for juices for the following days - one of these fruits can feed a whole family.

Australian zebra finch

The Australian zebra finch (Taeniopygia castanotis)[2] is the most common estrildid finch of Central Australia. It ranges over most of the continent, avoiding only the cool humid south and some areas of the tropical far north. The bird has been introduced to Puerto Rico and Portugal.[1] Due to the ease of keeping and breeding the zebra finch in captivity, it has become Australia's most widely studied bird; by 2010, it was the most studied captive model passerine species worldwide, by a considerable margin.[3]

Zebra mussel is a small shellfish

Color patterns vary, with only dark or colored shells or no stripes. They are typically found attached to objects, surfaces, or each other by threads underneath the shells. Although similar in appearance to the quagga mussel, the two species can be easily distinguished. When placed on a surface zebra mussels are stable on their flattened underside while quagga mussels, lacking a flat underside, will fall over.
