Soursop, also known as graviola or guanábana, is a tropical fruit with soft white flesh, a sweet-and-tart flavor, and a distinctive green, spiky skin. It is enjoyed in juices, smoothies, and desserts in many tropical regions.
The fruit contains vitamin C, fiber, and other plant compounds, making it an interesting addition to a balanced diet. However, claims that soursop eliminates diabetes, cancer, or high blood pressure without medication are not supported by reliable clinical evidence.
Here is a simple way to prepare a refreshing soursop drink at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ripe soursop flesh, with all seeds removed
- 1 cup cold drinking water
- ½ cup milk or unsweetened plant-based milk, optional
- 1 teaspoon lime juice, optional
- Ice cubes, optional
