The '''soursop''' (Spanish '''guanábana''', Portuguese '''graviola''' is a broadleaf flowering evergreen tree native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America. Today, it is also grown in some areas of Southeast Asia. It is in the same genus as the [[cherimoya]] and the same family as the [[pawpaw]]. In most Spanish speaking countries it is commonly known as '''Guanábana'''. In the Philippines, it is known as '''guyabano'''.

The '''soursop''' is adapted to areas of high humidity and relatively warm winters, temperatures below 5 °C will cause damage to leaves and small branches, and temperatures below 3 °C can be fatal.

Comparisons of its flavour range from [[strawberry]] and [[pineapple]] mixed together to sour [[citrus]] flavour notes contrasting with an underlying creamy roundness of flavour reminiscent of [[coconut]] or [[banana]]. The fruit is somewhat difficult to eat, as the white interior pulp is studded with many large seeds, and pockets of soft flesh are bounded by fibrous membranes. The soursop is therefore usually juiced rather than eaten directly.
