WHAT IS CHERIMOYA FRUIT? NUTRITION, BENEFITS & MORE
Last updated: April 7, 2023 by Michael Joseph, MSc
Facebook2TweetPin2EmailPrint
Cherimoya is an exotic fruit with a unique appearance and a sweet and creamy
taste.
This article examines the nutritional values of cherimoya, its benefits and
potential downsides, and more.
WHAT IS CHERIMOYA?
Cherimoya fruits grow on small trees known scientifically as Annona cherimola,
belonging to the genus Annona (1).
As shown in the above image, cherimoya flesh contains several dark
brown-to-black seeds, and a hard, green peel surrounds it.

they are typically used for in recipes and cooking.
Cherimoya is part of the same family as the custard apple fruit (Anona
reticulata), and they share a very similar appearance. Additionally, despite
being a different fruit, cherimoyas are sometimes called custard apples.
The fruit has a unique white and creamy flesh with a soft texture and a mildly
sweet and fruity flavor. Comparisons to fruits such as mango, papaya, pineapple,
pear, and avocado are common concerning cherimoya’s taste and texture.
Cherimoya fruit grows in tropical and subtropical regions around the world.
Among the major producers, Spain, specifically the Andalusia region, is the
world’s leader in cherimoya production (2, 3).
Key Point: Cherimoya is a sweet and flavorful exotic fruit with a unique
appearance and a creamy texture.
NUTRITION FACTS
Now that we have looked at what cherimoya looks and tastes like, what does it
offer nutritionally?
Firstly, here are the full nutritional values of cherimoya fruit.
The source of nutritional data is the USDA’s FoodData Central Database. Daily
values have been calculated using USDA data alongside the FDA’s recommended
‘daily values’ (4, 5).

BENEFITS
Here is an overview of the main benefits of cherimoya fruit.
RICH IN FIBER
Cherimoya is a rich source of fiber, with a typical 235-gram fruit providing
more than seven grams (25% of the daily value) (4).
The fruit contains a high proportion of soluble fiber. A recent 2023 systematic
review of 181 randomized controlled trials found that soluble fiber helps to
lower LDL-Cholesterol (sometimes known as “bad” cholesterol) in a dose-response
manner (6).
HIGH IN VITAMIN C
Vitamin C is one of the nutrients present in cherimoya in the highest
concentrations.
Each cherimoya fruit contains 29.6 mg of vitamin C, 33% of the daily value (4,
5).
On a per-100-gram basis, cherimoya offers 12.60 mg of vitamin C, 14% of the
daily value.
Vitamin C is an essential vitamin that plays a vital role in the immune system
and protects cells from damage by free radicals (6).
GOOD SOURCE OF B VITAMINS
Aside from vitamin B12, cherimoya provides a good quantity of each B vitamin.
The fruit contains particularly high levels of vitamins B1, B2, and B6, offering
more than 20% of the daily value for each one (4, 5).
Among their functions, B vitamins play an important role in energy production
(7).
HIGH POTASSIUM CONTENT
Potassium is a crucial mineral in regulating blood pressure, but many people do
not consume it in sufficient quantities.
In this regard, data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey (NHANES) demonstrated that the prevalence of hypokalemia (low blood
potassium levels) increased from 3.78% of people to 11.06% between the years
1999 and 2016 (8).
Increasing plant food intake is a simple way to obtain more potassium, and
cherimoya is one of the most potassium-rich fruits.
A typical cherimoya fruit has 674 mg of potassium, 14% of the daily value (4,
5).
CONTAINS HIGH LEVELS OF POLYPHENOLS
Cherimoya contains numerous polyphenols, compounds found in plant foods that may
have various beneficial effects (9).
Research into the phytochemical profile of cherimoya demonstrates that the fruit
contains high levels of flavan-3-ols. Additionally, it also contains a variety
of catechin and gallocatechin compounds (10, 11).
Key Point: Cherimoya fruit offers a good range of essential nutrients, and it is
also a rich source of polyphenols.
DOWNSIDES
THE SEEDS CONTAIN TOXINS
The central potentially negative aspect of cherimoya fruit is that the fruit’s
seeds and peel contain toxins called Annonaceous acetogenins (12, 13).
All parts of the fruit other than the flesh are inedible and should not be
eaten. That said, the seeds and peel are extremely hard and not something one
would wish to eat.
The flesh of the cherimoya fruit is perfectly edible, and it is easy to avoid
eating the (big) seeds.
CAN BE EXPENSIVE
It is often challenging to find cherimoya for sale in countries far from where
the fruit natively grows.
In stores like Whole Foods that sell it, the price can be pretty high. The price
can vary depending on location and season at farmer’s markets and imported fruit
and exotic fruit stores. However, it will rarely be a price considered cheap.
As a result, the expense of cherimoya will understandably be a barrier for
people.
HOW TO EAT CHERIMOYA
There are many ways to eat cherimoya (just so long as you don’t eat the seeds).
Many people enjoy eating cherimoya alone for its sweet and creamy taste. The
best way to do this is as follows:
1. Cut the cherimoya in half
2. Remove the seeds from each half with the tip of a knife
3. Once the seeds are removed, slice each half of the cherimoya into four or
five pieces
4. Hold each piece using two hands and eat the flesh out of the peel
Cherimo can also be used in a versatile range of recipes, varying from juices
and smoothies to cooked dishes.
WHERE TO BUY CHERIMOYA
Finding cherimoya in regions where it doesn’t natively grow can be difficult.
However, here are several places from where it is possible to buy the fruit:
* Whole Foods
* Local farmer’s markets
* Import/exotic fruit stores
* Order online for delivery
COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT CHERIMOYA
Here are some answers to commonly-asked questions about cherimoya fruit.
How do you know when cherimoya is ripe?
When the skin of a cherimoya fruit still has a bright green appearance and a
hard texture, it isn’t yet ready to eat and will need several days to ripen. A
ripe cherimoya’s skin will be starting to brown, and it will feel a little
softer when you squeeze it.
Are cherimoyas high in sugar?
A 235-gram cherimoya contains 30.3 grams of sugar, which is 12.9 grams per 100
grams. On a gram-for-gram basis, the sugar content of cherimoya is just slightly
more than that of blueberries.
How much cherimoya should you eat?
Some people will eat a whole cherimoya fruit, approximately 235 grams. A cup is
another typical serving, which according to the USDA, is around 160 grams of
cherimoya (4).
Is cherimoya good for you?
Cherimoya has several nutritional benefits ranging from its moderately high
provision of vitamins and minerals to its fiber and polyphenol content. As a
result, it can be part of a healthy dietary pattern.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Cherimoya is an interesting fruit with an exciting appearance and an enjoyable
flavor.
In addition, the fruit has the benefit of offering several nutritional benefits.
Among these, it is an excellent source of fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and
numerous B vitamins.
It is worth trying for those that can find cherimoya selling for a reasonable
price.
