Soursop Guanabana Annona muricata 10 Seeds

Annona muricata, commonly known as the soursop or guanbana, is a tropical evergreen tree celebrated for its distinctive fruit, aromatic foliage, and longstanding place in traditional medicine. Belonging to the Annonaceae family, this species is native to the tropical regions of the Americas—from the Caribbean and Central America to northern South America—but is now widely cultivated throughout Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. The tree typically grows between 5 and 10 meters tall, with glossy, dark green leaves that release a pleasant fragrance when crushed. Its large, heart-shaped fruits are covered in soft, curved spines and can weigh up to several kilograms, enclosing a creamy, white, fibrous pulp filled with small black seeds. The fruit’s flavor is both sweet and tangy, often described as a unique blend of pineapple, strawberry, and citrus with a hint of banana. Soursop is rich in vitamin C, B vitamins, and essential minerals such as potassium and magnesium, making it both nutritious and refreshing. It is commonly consumed fresh or used to prepare juices, ice creams, smoothies, jams, and desserts across the tropics. Beyond its culinary uses, Annona muricata holds deep cultural and medicinal significance; in traditional herbal medicine, its leaves, bark, and seeds have been used for their purported sedative, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. The plant thrives in warm, humid climates with well-drained soils and full sunlight but is sensitive to cold and frost. With its lush foliage, striking fruit, and economic importance, Annona muricata remains one of the most cherished and versatile tropical trees worldwide.
