Soursop is a large, spiky, dark green fruit from a tropical tree, known for its aromatic, white, juicy flesh that is sweet and tart, with notes of pineapple and coconut. Native to the Americas, it\'s now grown worldwide in tropical climates and is used fresh, in juices, ice creams, and desserts. While rich in vitamins like C and K, and antioxidants, its black seeds are toxic, and caution is advised for medicinal use due to potential side effects, according to some studies.
