Jerry thanks for the tip about Makuu Market. We went swimming near champagne pond and on the government road on the way back home, someone had a little fruit and vegetable stand (honor system) and the soursop was $3.50. That's the only time I saw soursop. Usually they sell an abundance of basil, delicious japanese cucumbers, little bananas for $1.50 or more a bunch.
Rbonplaza - that is quite fascinating about soursop and Parkinsons. I had never heard of that! Wow. One tends never to relate consumption of fresh fruits or vegies to disease. I always think of aluminum pans, or mercury in fish, etc. ...something to think about.
Olin, the soursop shouldn't be left on the tree to ripen, because when it falls, naturally it splats. What I have read, is that about 5 days after picking, when it is slightly soft to the touch, one can eat it.
The soursop I had was creamy inside, but still fleshy, with a taste like coconuts, lime, and custard. Very fresh, not mushy or stinky at all. Are you thinking of durian?
