Have you heard of Lisa Atemoya? 💞 This remarkable fruit from the Annonaceae family was created by an expert fruit cultivator, Mr. Har Mahdeem, in 1996 in Florida.
By cross-pollinating a ‘Libby’ cherimoya flower (Annona cherimola) with pollen from a ‘Red Sugar’ sugar apple (Annona squamosa), this unique atemoya has a pink hue, juicy texture, and sweet flavor that’s hard to resist.
The Lisa Atemoya’s surface is distinctively bumpy, with overlapping finger-like projections. Its flesh is smooth and creamy, with a delicious taste that’s a blend of banana, summer berries, and pineapple. It usually contains only a handful of seeds, making it effortless to enjoy.
