Fresh Soursop

Soursop is a tropical fruit with creamy, fragrant white flesh and a flavour somewhere between pineapple, strawberry, and citrus. We hand-pick at the right stage of ripeness and ship quickly so it arrives at its best. Fresh soursop is rare in the UK. For a fuller description, see our guide to what fresh soursop tastes like.

What you will receive: a whole fresh soursop fruit (single, 1kg to 1.5kg) or a box of 10kg, packed carefully to protect it during transit. Each fruit gives you soft, juicy flesh to enjoy fresh, blend into smoothies, or freeze for later.

Also known as: soursop, graviola, guanabana, guyabano, sirsak, Annona muricata. All names for the same tropical evergreen.

Origin: Ghana, West Africa. Single-origin, hand-picked.

Delivery and lead time: we supply fresh soursop all year round. It ships in weekly batches via Royal Mail Tracked 24. Order by 5:00 PM on Friday for that week's harvest. It is dispatched the following Monday, usually arriving Tuesday (1 to 2 working days for some areas). Orders after Friday 5:00 PM are held for the following week. Fresh fruit delivery is UK only, charged by weight and calculated at checkout. For rates, see our shipping page.

How to enjoy fresh soursop:

• Eat it fresh: chill the fruit, slice it open, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Avoid the seeds.
• Blend it into a smoothie: combine the flesh with milk or coconut water, a banana, and ice for a tropical drink.
• Freeze it: scoop the flesh into bags and freeze for smoothies later. Soursop freezes well and keeps for months.

For the traditional Caribbean and West African juice recipes, see our soursop juice guide.

Storage: Refrigerate ripe fruit and eat within three to five days, or freeze the flesh in bags for up to three months.

Sourcing: Our founder visited the farms before launching the UK side of Soursoply, and we still work with the same growers today. Whole fruit, hand-picked, delivered fresh.

FAQ

How do I know when it is ripe? A ripe soursop yields slightly when gently pressed and gives off a sweet, fragrant aroma. If your fruit arrives a little firm, leave it at room temperature for one to three days until it softens. For more on judging ripeness and ripening firm fruit at home, see our full guide.

Do you deliver fresh soursop across the UK? Yes, within the UK only. Fresh soursop ships in weekly batches via Royal Mail Tracked 24. Order by 5:00 PM on Friday to be included in that week's harvest. It is dispatched the following Monday, usually arriving Tuesday (1 to 2 working days for some areas). Orders after Friday 5:00 PM are held for the following week. Fresh fruit delivery is charged by weight, calculated at checkout. For rates, see our shipping page.

Can I make soursop juice with it? Yes. The traditional Caribbean version is blended with milk and lightly sweetened; the West African version uses water and lime. See our soursop juice recipes for both.

What can soursop be used for? Plenty of ways: eat the fresh fruit with a spoon, blend it into a smoothie, juice it Caribbean or West African style, or freeze it into sorbet. The leaves are brewed as a tea. See our cuisine guide for more.
