How to store
You can store these fruits in a fruit bowl. When you can gently press the pulp of the cherimoya and the skin turns a little black, it is ripe. After this you can keep the cherimoya for another 2-3 days.
How to eat
Cherimoyas are delicious to empty with a spoon, but don’t forget to remove the seeds first as they are slightly poisonous. It also works well in a salad or smoothie or you can wrap them in a slice of raw ham for a delicious sweet-salty combination.
