Is sugar apple still edible when it turns black and hard and the flesh turns red?

Sugar apple is a fruit that is relatively hard to ripen. Some people do not know how to store unripe sugar apples, so they just throw them into the refrigerator. This is the wrong way to store them, and it will make the sugar apple become black and hard. Generally, for unripe sugar apples, we can wrap them in paper to speed up ripening, and they should not be put in the refrigerator.

Does sugar apple flesh turning red mean it has gone bad? Can sugar apple flesh that has turned red still be eaten? When sugar apple flesh turns red, it is not spoiled; rather, it is becoming more and more ripe, and at this time it should be eaten as soon as possible. After a sugar apple is opened and left to sit for a while at room temperature, the flesh will undergo browning. If you buy overly soft and ripe sugar apples at the market, or if you have far too many sugar apples at home and they all soften and ripen almost at the same time within a short period, making it impossible to eat them all at once, the best thing to do is to peel open the fruit, scoop out the flesh with a spoon, place it in a freezer storage cup, cover it, and put it on the inner side of the freezer compartment in the upper part of the refrigerator. By making use of the relatively stable temperature on the inner side of the freezer compartment, you can not only prevent the flesh from easily browning after being left for a long time, but also keep it frozen for as long as one month without spoiling! Frozen sugar apple flesh tastes like ice cream, and the flavor is very good!
