ananate

Ananate is a small, tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is known as "sapodilla." It is a member of the custard apple family, Sapotaceae, and is closely related to the longan and mamey sapote. The fruit is oval-shaped, with a smooth, yellowish-brown skin and a sweet, creamy, white flesh that is rich in vitamins and minerals. Ananate is often consumed fresh, but it can also be used in various culinary applications, such as in desserts, smoothies, and jams. The fruit is also known for its medicinal properties, with traditional uses including treating digestive issues and boosting immunity. Despite its popularity in Southeast Asia, ananate is less commonly found in other parts of the world.
