Description/Taste
Red Atemoyas are round or heart-shaped, averaging from 8 to 12 inches long; some can weigh up to 5 pounds. Their skin is a deep red to maroon that darkens to a red-brown color as it ripens. The skin is of medium thickness, which is composed of fused areoles that make the fruit look like a pinecone. The flesh is a snow-white color. Inside there are several large black seeds, which should not be eaten. Red Atemoyas tend to have fewer seeds that the Sugar Apple. The texture is similar to a firm custard, sometimes with some grittiness similar to a pear. The flavor most closely resembles a Cherimoya—pineapple, vanilla, cream, and subacidic notes.
