Speaking of this fruit, there really is a big difference between the south and the north. As a northerner, I really envy southerners for being able to eat such a wide variety of fruits, while in our north, the fruits unique to the north seem to be just a few simple kinds, such as apples, pears and so on. In the south, because the climate is suitable, you can always eat all kinds of fresh fruits. Although transportation is well developed now and many southern fruits can also be eaten in the north, the prices of some fruits after being shipped to the north are still very high, and some of them are things ordinary people are reluctant to buy.

Today I will introduce to you a southern fruit, and that is the sugar apple (Annona squamosa), which is also a fruit that has become popular in recent years. This fruit looks very much like the head of Buddha, so it is also called the custard apple. The sugar apple is a tropical fruit, and it is truly not small in size, and when eaten it tastes extremely soft and glutinous. I am actually a person who does not like eating fruit. I remember that once, by a lucky coincidence, when I ate a sugar apple, it really was very soft and sweet. This kind of sweetness is something ordinary fruits cannot achieve. After eating it, I even felt the sweetness was so intense it made my throat feel cloying. For someone like me who does not like eating fruit, the sugar apple really is delicious. If there is one drawback to the sugar apple, it is that it has too many seeds, so eating it means constantly spitting out seeds, which is too troublesome.

Now, with the development of logistics, sugar apples can also be eaten in the north, except that the price is a bit high. Generally, sugar apples can sell for 35 yuan per jin. A slightly larger sugar apple is about one jin, which is more than 30 yuan. As an ordinary consumer, I really cannot quite afford to eat it. The sugar apple is not only delicious, but also rich in nutritional value. Its various proteins and trace elements are also present in extremely high amounts, its antioxidant capacity is very strong, and it is very beneficial for human absorption. This is probably also one reason the sugar apple's price is high.

This sugar apple, which grows only in the climate unique to the south, besides being rich in nutritional value, also has health benefits. Eating more sugar apples can not only enhance the human body's resistance to disease, but also has beauty and skin-care effects. People love eating sugar apples probably because of these effects as well. Although the sugar apple tastes so sweet it is cloying, after finishing one you still want to eat the next. But when eating it, you must pay attention: this sugar apple needs to be left until it softens before it becomes sweet. If it has not softened, it is not good to eat.

Although sugar apples are now also available in the north, because they are expensive and still niche, many people have never eaten them. So for this kind of sugar apple, which tastes very good but is a bit expensive, would you choose to buy it and eat it?
