18. CherymoyaAnnona cherimola 毛葉番荔枝（拉?。篈nnona cherimola）

Cherymoya, or custard apple, is a deciduous plant found in the high lying mountainous areas of South America. The fruit is vaguely round and is found with 3 types of skin – Impressa (indented), Tuberculate (covered in nodules) or intermediate (a combination of the first two). The flesh inside the skin is very fragrant, white, juicy and has a custard like consistency. It is said that the fruit tastes like a combination of banana, passion fruit, papaya and pineapple. Mark Twain said in 1866 “ the most delicious fruit known to men, cherimoya”

毛葉番荔枝，又稱軟凍蘋果，是南美洲連綿高山地帶發現的一種落葉植物。果實隱約呈圓形，果皮有三種類型——凹痕狀、結瘤狀、或前兩種形狀的混合；內部的果肉芳香濃郁，白色多汁，肉質像奶油凍。據說水果吃起來像香蕉、百香果、番木瓜和菠蘿四種水果的混合口味。馬克.吐溫在1866年說過“毛葉番荔枝是人類已知最可口的水果”。
