This box brings you fresh sugar apples in your choice of 3, 5, or 8 pound sizes. Our current variety is green and grown in Florida, cultivated in very small batches that tend to sell out quickly. Each fruit wears a rind of knobby pale green segments, and inside waits creamy white flesh with the consistency of custard and a faintly minty finish.
Your sugar apple is ripe when it gives to a gentle squeeze; pull the segments apart with your thumbs and work out the shiny inedible seeds as you go. A close cousin of the cherimoya and custard apple, it is delicious chilled and eaten with a spoon or blended into a shake. Every order ships with our Arrive Fresh Guarantee, so your sugar apples arrive plump, fragrant, and ready to ripen on your counter.

Best Ways to Enjoy Sugar Apple
Chilled and Eaten with a Spoon
The classic way to enjoy a ripe sugar apple is straight from the rind. Chill it for a few hours, pull the segments apart, and scoop the creamy flesh with a spoon, setting the seeds aside as you go.
Blended into Smoothies and Shakes
Seeded sugar apple flesh blends into a naturally sweet, custard-thick base for smoothies and shakes. Blend it with milk and ice for a simple tropical shake with no added sugar required, since the fruit brings plenty of its own.
Folded into Desserts and Fruit Salads
Fold spoonfuls of sugar apple into fruit salads, spoon it over ice cream, or churn the seeded pulp into a sorbet. Its custard-like texture and sweet, faintly minty flavor turn simple desserts into something special.
A Natural Pick for Cherimoya Fans
If you love cherimoya, custard apple, or soursop, the sugar apple belongs on your list. It shares the same creamy Annona family character, with a compact size and a candy-level sweetness that make it the easiest one to fall for.
