Custard apple/Bullock's heart, flesh only

Custard apple, also known as bullock’s heart, is the fruit of Annona reticulata. The information here describes the flesh only. Its main energy-providing nutrient is carbohydrate. Per 100g, the flesh contains 16g carbohydrate, including 15g sugars, alongside 21mg vitamin C and 440mg potassium. It contains little fat and a small amount of protein.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. The sugars in the fruit’s flesh are naturally occurring, but still contribute to its total carbohydrate content, which is relevant when monitoring carbohydrate intake. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
