How to Enjoy Red Atemoya

Red Atemoya pairs well with other tropical fruits and juices and can be added to fruit cups, salads, or dessert recipes. The skin may darken before the fruit inside goes bad. While it closely resembles a cherimoya, experts suggest it is likely a cherimoya if it looks too similar to a red Atemoya. Red Atemoya is a hybrid of Annona squamosa (sugar apple) and Annona cherimola (cherimoya).

First bred in 1908 by horticulturalist P.J. Wester at a USDA laboratory in Miami, Red Atemoya is now commercially grown in a few tropical regions.
