Custard Apple


圖中的水果名叫Custard Apple. 不知有沒有中文名, 無都唔出奇, 世上植物


千奇百怪. 但有別名, Bull's Heart. 公牛的心是這樣的嗎? 有一粒粒的硬外殼,


熟了後變軟, 用手輕易撕開吃, 果肉奶白色有黑色細核, 有少許似紅毛丹,


味道清甜不算濃郁. 愛吃與否, 見仁見智.


查看維基, 原來有很多醫療作用, 趕時間出去, 有興趣, 自己看吧.

    [版主回覆12/09/2009 14:26:00]剛剛查過資料, Custard Apple 和 番鬼佬荔枝 "sugar apple/ sweetsop"  is different but belonged to the same species. That's why they have different skin color.
