Red Atemoya, also known as Red Geffner or Israel Red, is a rare and visually striking member of the Annona family. This unique variety is a result of cross-pollination between the Geffner Atemoya and San Pablo Custard Apple. It features a vibrant red outer skin with creamy white flesh and a mildly sweet flavour complemented by subtle berry notes. The texture is smooth, slightly chewy, and reminiscent of the Geffner variety.

Unlike other Atemoya types, Red Atemoya requires a longer ripening period. Even after it softens, allowing a few extra days ensures the best taste and texture.

Each box contains a selection of fruit, with small boxes weighing approximately 1.5-2kg and large boxes between 3-4kg. Opting for a large box offers the best value, considering shipping and handling costs.

This tropical delicacy is not only a treat for the taste buds but also packed with essential nutrients. Red Atemoya is rich in Vitamin C and dietary fibre, making it a nutritious addition to your diet. Its texture is slightly fibrous yet creamy, and its flavour combines sweet pineapple, pear, banana, and strawberry notes. For the best experience, enjoy it chilled, scooping it fresh from the shell with a spoon.

How to Enjoy Red Atemoya

Red Atemoya pairs beautifully with other tropical fruits and juices, making it a great addition to fruit salads, smoothie bowls, or desserts. The skin may darken as the fruit ripens, but this does not immediately indicate spoilage. Given its close resemblance to cherimoya, experts recommend using taste and texture as better indicators of its identity.

A hybrid of Annona squamosa (sugar apple) and Annona cherimola (cherimoya), Red Atemoya was first cultivated in 1908 by horticulturist P.J. Wester at a USDA laboratory in Miami. Today, it is grown in select tropical regions worldwide and is now available for UK customers seeking an exotic fruit experience.
