Custard apples
What It's no apple, if that's what you're thinking. It's a type of sub-tropical fruit with a rich, creamy white flesh that tastes faintly of custard and originated in Peru, but is now grown all over Queensland. You can tell when
a custard apple is ripe by the way it gives slightly under your hand when you squeeze it - a bit like an avocado. Only eat them when they're fully ripe, or else they're likely to taste sour and chalky.
