Sitaphal (Custard Apples)

This is a fruit which one can say looks rough and tough, and definitely not delicate and appealing from the outside. One may say its looks do deceive, as the inside segments are of absolute custard smoothness, with black shiny seeds embedded in them. Therefore the name "custard" apple.

Custard apples provide sugars that give sustained energy and do not over- react the body's insulin like other processed sugars. The leaves of this tree are used to make blue or black natural dyes. The wood of the cherimoya tree has been used to make yokes for oxen's since decades. Powdered bark is used in healing injured and weak gums and roots of our dental framework.

Seeds, leaves and young raw fruit are used for making insecticide and lice killers.
