Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Helen, The 3 small cherimoyas I got at the potluck didn't ripen very well. They were brown on the outside and tough skinned....and dryish on the inside. Not sweet and juicy. This is interesting, Helen. Since they came from the same batch as yours. I know you said they had to stay warm. My house temperature turns down to 60 or below during the day. Do you think that is why they didn't turn out as well?

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I am sorry they didn't ripen well, Linda. I repeatedly told Roger to keep the baby warm. Perhaps I should have emphasized that to you. Will you by any chance coming to the north or around U-district area over the weekend? I can give you a couple of my cherimoyas.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Wow - Cherimoyas DO sound yummy! I am here in Northern Indiana, and have no clue if they are available in this part of the country, but will sure keep my eye out for them. Are they " native " to Florida, or what particular area? I have never had Durian either; have always been curious to try those, also. Right now, I just blended a whole canteloupe with a bit of cold water, and drinking it through a straw; it is soooo refreshing and yummy!

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Cherimoyas are native to South America (I know they are big in Chile). Some are grown in Southern California, but we lack the insect that normally pollinates it, so the pollination has to be done by hand (which of course makes them quite expensive). rawfood [rawfood ] On Behalf Of Joanie Sunday, May 01, 2005 1:03 PM rawfood [Raw Food] Re: Cherimoyas * Wow - Cherimoyas DO sound yummy!
