cherimoya
Scaly green fruit
Cherimoya is a tropical fruit with green, scaly skin and creamy white flesh studded with large black seeds.
Native to South America, it has a sweet, custard-like texture with flavors suggesting banana, pineapple, and vanilla.
Mark Twain called it "the most delicious fruit known to men." Also spelled chirimoya.
