Fresh Soursop (Guanábana) – Buy Online in the UK

Discover the taste of the tropics right at your doorstep. Fresh soursop in the UK is now easier to enjoy than ever – exotic, fragrant, and ready to delight.

What is Soursop (Guanábana)?

Soursop, also known as guanábana, is a large, spiky green fruit with a soft, creamy white pulp inside. Its flavour is often described as a lush blend of pineapple, strawberry, and citrus with subtle creamy notes, similar to banana or coconut. The texture is juicy yet fibrous, with pockets of black seeds that are easy to remove.

Originating in the lush tropics of the Caribbean, Brazil, and Southeast Asia, soursop has long been cherished in traditional cuisines and home remedies. In Vietnam, it’s blended into refreshing smoothies, while in the Caribbean it stars in ice creams, juices, and festive desserts. Now, UK fruit lovers can savour the same authentic experience without boarding a plane.

When you buy soursop in the UK through our store, you’re choosing carefully sourced fruit grown on small partner farms. Each soursop is hand-picked at its prime stage of maturity and shipped quickly to preserve its freshness, flavour, and natural nutrients.

• Vitamin C: Supports normal immune system function.

• Fibre: Aids digestion and helps maintain regularity.

• Potassium & Magnesium: Contribute to healthy blood pressure and muscle function.

How to Choose, Ripen, Cut & Store Soursop

Buying soursop in the UK can be a little different to enjoying it at source, so here are some practical tips:

1. Choosing: Your soursop may arrive firm – this ensures safe delivery. A ripe fruit is slightly soft to the touch, similar to a ripe avocado.

2. Ripening: Leave at room temperature for 2–3 days until the skin darkens slightly and yields under gentle pressure.

3. How to cut soursop: Place the fruit on a board, slice lengthwise, and scoop out the creamy pulp with a spoon. Remove seeds before eating or blending.

4. Storing: Once ripe, keep whole soursop in the fridge for up to 2 days. For longer storage, remove the pulp and freeze – perfect for smoothies or desserts.
