Custard Apple

Product Overview:
Custard Apple, famously known as Sitaphal, is a tropical delicacy beloved for its unique "custard" texture and sophisticated sweetness. Sourced from orchards where the fruit is allowed to reach full maturity on the tree, our custard apples are selected for their large size and prominent "eyes" (the bumps on the skin). When ripe, the fruit pulls apart easily to reveal snow-white segments of sweet pulp that carry a fragrance reminiscent of roses and vanilla. It is a seasonal favorite that offers a high-energy boost and a wealth of essential minerals.

Key Features:

Velvety Custard Texture: The pulp is incredibly smooth and creamy, making it one of the few fruits that feels like a prepared dessert.

Intense Natural Sweetness: A high-glucose fruit that provides an immediate and delicious energy lift.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every fruit is hand-inspected to ensure it is plump and free from dark bruises or insect entry points, ensuring the delicate interior remains pristine (SQA Checked).

Rich in Minerals: A natural source of essential nutrients that are often missing from processed snacks.
