Winter is Chirimoya season. Chirimoyas are a tropical fruit native to South America and they are grown in southern Spain. In English they are called Custard Apples. We saw boxes of them for sale at roadside fruit stands throughout Andalusia. They have been described as “flan growing on trees.”
They have a creamy texture. I thought the taste reminded me of pears and bananas. Dave and Summer both thought they had a strawberry and kiwi flavor. Luie wasn’t really sure how to describe it.
We picked out the seeds and ate the fruit raw. But there are many recipes for them in smoothies, on salads, and in desserts.
I’ve heard of those and even seen them a few times, but never tasted them. They look & sound like they’re delicious!
They are pretty good. The flavor is subtle, not strong, but nice and creamy. Definitely worth a try!
I think I would be like Luie, “not too good at describing delicate tastes. “
I agree, the flavor would probably be too subtle for you to describe. But I bet you would like it none the less.
