A sugar apple is a tropical fruit from the Annona squamosa tree, also known as sweetsop or custard apple. It is known for its sweet, creamy, custard-like flesh that is sometimes described as a mix of vanilla, mango, and pineapple. The fruit is segmented, and each segment contains a shiny black seed.
The average price for sugar apples (sweetsop) varies greatly, from around $1-$2 per fruit at some grocery stores to $10-$20 per pound or more when bought online, especially shipped, costing roughly $12-$17 per fruit depending on size and source. Expect to pay more for smaller quantities or expedited shipping, while buying in larger boxes (e.g., 10 lbs) can bring the per-pound cost down, though still expensive due to their tropical nature.
