A Short History
The Soursop tree was one of the first trees carried from America to the Old World Tropics where it is now widely distributed. This plant is propagated in many tropical and subtropical regions, however the exact origin is unknown. Throughout the years, it has been used traditionally as a food and botanical, and in products such as cooking oils, soaps, and even insecticides.
Where Is Soursop Found?
Soursop trees love areas of high humidity with warm winters. In fact, temperatures below 37 °F can make the fruit dry and can even kill the entire tree. Soursop grows natively in tropical regions. You can find Soursop growing in Mexico, Jamaica, Cuba, the West Indies, northern South America, China, Australia, Africa and the Caribbean.
These trees can grow up to 13 feet tall and bear fruit that range in size from 20 to 30 cm long.
How Do People Eat Soursop?
The leaves and fruit of the Soursop tree can all be utilized when it comes to consumption. The seeds are considered poisonous and should not be consumed, however they can be used for other purposes.
Soursop fruit is most commonly eaten raw. Simply cut the fruit in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon – being sure to spit out the seeds as you go.
Soursop is also available in supplement form. You may choose from soursop teas, soursop bitters (a special blend of soursop and other botanical herbs), juice, capsules, dried leaves, and liquid extracts. You can learn more about Soursop bitters here:

Hello, I want to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instructions and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza.
