Soursop (Guanabana) also known as Korosol in creole ( Corossol in French), is a prickly, green tropical fruit – an exotic fruit known for its unique taste; described as a mix between strawberry and pineapple, with a hint of sour citrus flavour and with an underlying creamy texture reminiscent of soft coconut or banana. Although the exact origin is unknown; it is native to the tropical regions of the Americas and the Caribbean and is widely propagated. Soursop is quite a popular fruit in the Seychelles.
