Sour Soup Fruit/Lakshman Phal – Fruit Plants & Tree

The Soursoup tree is low-branching and bushy. This tree can be and is commonly grown in acid and sandy soil. Soursops of least acid flavor and least fibrous consistency are cut in sections and the flesh eaten with a spoon. The seeded pulp may be torn or cut into bits and added to fruit cups or salads, or chilled and served as dessert with sugar and a little milk or cream. For years, seeded soursop has been canned in Mexico and served in Mexican restaurants in New York and other northern cities.
