A fruit only found in India, and my favorite fruit!




Last time I came to India I fell in love with a fruit known as sitaphal. My uncle thought me how to eat it and how to fall in love with the fruit! He told me about the fruit and the first time I saw it I said," What is that?" He told me how I could only find it here in India and how I would have to come to India to eat it. I enjoy eating sitaphal with anyone! Sitaphal is an amazing fruit, the taste is sweet but not candy sweet. It is just right, it has a light flavor which makes it all the more tasty.In some parts of the world, it is known as a custard or sugar apple. If you were to imagine it, from the outside it would look like a artichoke, and from the inside it would look like a pomegranate. It would look like a pomegranate because the seeds are covered with the fruit. I'll put a picture of the fruit below. 


Here are two pictures of the fruit. The first one is the inside and the second is how it looks as a whole. I ate a little bit of the first one, but you get the idea. :) 

If you ever come to India in the July-August time be sure to eat some sitaphal!!
