On a visit to my mother’s house yesterday, I have picked three srikaya fruits. The tree bears enough fruit, but only slightly mature or mature enough to pick.
If you have never known this fruit, other names are the sugar-apple, or sweetsop, is the fruit of Annona squamosa, where Mexican name ate, in Bengali ata, Nepalese aati, Sinhalese mati anoda, Burmese awzar thee, Indonesia “ Srikaya”’ and atis in the Philippines. It is also known as sitaphal in India and Shareefa in Pakistan and in the Philippines and in Australia.
The name is also used in Portuguese as ata. The diameter of the fruit in this picture is about eight centimeters. The bigger and more mature fruit was eaten by my brother-in-law yesterday who loved it so much the night before we visited our house. In these fruits, sometimes some white fruit lice and small ants are about two millimeters in size.
This is my second post about this fruit which I have previously posted with the same title for 365 days Photo Challenge, Srikaya.

I have not seen this fruit yet. In our land we have very little exotic fruits.
Now you have seen this fruit here, dear friend. Hehehe…
I would try it not only to watch ?
I would have tried to not only watch
Hopefully, someday it will come to you.
Nice photo! We also have this fruit in our place and I tasted some before. It tastes sweet and delicious. But lately, I haven’t seen any.
I myself rarely see this fruit available in stores but often enjoy it in the form of jam or bread. I was fortunate that my mother and sister-in-law planted this fruit in their garden.
I think I’ve tried this fruit before … it looks very familiar!
hehe
I am sure you have tasted it because it is one of the typical Asian fruits.
It’s not as common here though …
as in not every store have them, in fact I hardly see them around…
Indeed, even in my place, this fruit is rarely found in stores…
I have never seen this fruit. There are many exotic fruits unknown to me, especially those in your area! Great photo!
At least now you have seen this fruit here, dear friend. I hope someday, this fruit will visit you.
It would be interesting! Are such fruits or products derived from these fruits exported? Hmm! I’ll look around!
Hopefully you are very curious because I did try it.
You are awesome Albert. I was about to ask you a name that I could associate with. You have given its Indian name too.
So, I’m not wrong about its name in Indian, sitaphal, right?
Yes. You are right Albert ?
Thank you very much, Mohan.
I have not even seen it. But I remember the previous post. I think there is something like this and it tastes like an apple.
Now you see this fruit a second time. I will not comment on it tastes because it is better if you to taste it yourself.
Ah the wonder of fruit. The question I have is do you like the taste?
This is one of the fruits I like, Doc.
I do as well, but I wanted to ask.
Wow. Is this fruit also available in your area?
I have never seen this fruit before dear friend
It’s nice to show and share this kind of thing with friends in other countries, dear Lado.
Indeed, how much fruit is still in your possession that is still unknown to us … otherwise it always appears new on the shelves, but I do not buy because I do not know … and usually it can be so exotic fruit is very expensive
If you see this fruit, or jackfruit on a shelf in a shop where you usually shop, buy it. Make sure you taste it even though I can’t be sure whether you will like it or not.
If I see, I’m gonna buy … if it’s not good you’ll get me back money ha ha ha
or at least we can laugh together… Hehehe…
Looks delicious a very wide range of fruit on planet earth that I have never heard of before. thanks for sharing this.
It’s nice to be able to share this kind of thing with friends in other countries.
I love this fruit this is one of my favorites. But now I seldom see a tree bearing this kind of fruit.
I am more fortunate because I still see many of these trees around me. But there are also some fruit trees that have also become rare in my country.
a lot of fruit trees are already rare in our place due to increase in population and houses.
I think basically we have the same problem, also in other countries.
I love this fruit this is one of my favorites.
Aha! Friends of Southeast Asia will definitely say that.
you must be referring to another brother in law
Wise advice, brother-in-law. Can you say an example?
I don’t remember eating that with you, hence I suspect you have another brother in law
Owh… Now I’m clear about what you mean. Yes, besides you, I have many brothers-in-law, and the one who ate this fruit yesterday was the husband of my wife old sister. Hopefully you are not jealous of him.
it takes more than that to make me jealous, and I don’t mind sharing…
I can no longer doubt your greatness.
I don’t know if it makes me great, but it sure makes me easy to get along with
I think you can decide what words you like.
I prefer to reserve greatness for people who end wars and such things
You are blessed with many fruits indoor country. Funny thing happened. I was watching a tv show called Shark Tank after I read about your Jack fruit. They were talking about cooking barbecue with the jack fruit instead of the pork meat. I thought I know that fruit! It was a cool moment.
Jackfruit? smells so good. It is best for sweet like marmalade or dessert.
You are right, Maria. Jackfruit can be processed in many ways; as the fruit itself, to staple foods, desserts, snacks, and various types of fresh drinks.
Countries in the tropics do have many unique fruits, but it is also difficult to have a variety of fruits from sub-tropical regions, at least from the quality of taste.
I am glad that the fruit I have introduced has given you a small reference. Thank you, Carol.
