“Raw Food” Episode 49 – Jenna in the Jungle – Rollinia (Raw Food)
[Raw Food] Episode 49 - Jenna in the Jungle - Rollinia (Raw Food) Raw Food: Rollinia is a genus in the family Annonaceae. While it is widely recognised as a distinct genus a recent monograph advocates its inclusion in Annona[1], which also contains custard apples and soursops. Sometimes called biriba, species of Rollinia are tropical trees that bear round, yellow fruit. They need a warm and humid climate to grow well. Not all fruits produced by this family are edible, but Rollinia deliciosa is. The flavor of the fruit is described as similar to that of apple custard or lemon meringue pie. Ripe fruit is very soft and easily bruised. The fruit cannot be stored for long periods of time. It is usually eaten fresh, but Brazilians use it to make wine. Jenny: So, Jenna. This is Rollinia. This is one of the most popular fruits around here. Its wonderful. Tastes like apple custard. You can tell its ripe when it starts to get the black tips on the end. Its a really beautiful tree. The leave are long. Its lush. Jenna: Im very curious to see what it looks like inside. Jenna: This reminds me a little of the way the Jackfruit looks. Jenny: Its actually related to the Soursop, but its sweet, not sour. Jenna: And you just scoop it out like this? Jenny: Just scoop it out. This is another fruit that can be used to make pies, or you can just eat it like this. Jenna: Oh my gosh! That is spectacular! It is exactly like an apple custard. Jenny: Maybe a little bit better even. Jenna: Even ...

@MotivationSeeker; You could be refering to Annona squamosa which is cultivated in Australia and ranges in size from about 2.5-4.0 inches. As per wikipedia under nomenclature..Aussies know it as custard apple. There are quite a number of species in the Annona genus which are easily confused with one another. Rollinia is not commonly cultivated and as you can see from the clip is larger than other Annona species. Rollinia can reach up to almost 8 Inches or 20cm in size.

@halopa246 I googled both names and both come up as having custard apple as a secondary names, so I’m baffled of which one I know as both grow in Australia. I love custard apples and the cousin, soursop and buy them at the farmers markets regularly.

I would love to try this..looks like the perfect dessert from nature, just slice open and eat with a spoon, how fantastic is that!

@MotivationSeeker : You may be refering to Anona Reticulata..Rollinia is Anona Deliciosa and has knobby protrusions where Reticulata is smoother and without them.

In El Salvador these are called “Anonas”
They’re green on the oustide and the skin comes right off when you peel them, or you can eat them just like that, with a spoon.
