Sugar Apple, also known as Sitafal or Sweetsop, is a visually striking fruit with a scaled green exterior and soft, fragrant flesh inside. Its texture is delicately grainy, reminiscent of a ripe pear, while the taste is like luxuriously sweet and creamy sugar. The finest fruits are larger with fewer seeds, as the seeds are not eaten.

With our Sugar Apple deriving from tropical regions such as Egypt, India, Indonesia and Lebanon, Sugar Apple trees flourish in warm climates with abundant sunlight and fertile soils. Each fruit ripens slowly, developing its distinct balance of sweetness and perfume as the flesh softens.

This beautiful fruit carries a deeply comforting energy one that nourishes both body and spirit. It restores joy where fatigue has lingered and reminds the heart of life’s natural sweetness. Sugar Apple strengthens the solar plexus without agitation and soothes the heart without dullness, bringing harmony to those navigating emotional healing or physical recovery.

Ceremonially, Sugar Apple is regarded as a fruit of rest and gratitude. It has long been shared after prayer, fasting or healing work to honour the body’s return to balance. Its gentle nourishment mirrors the sacred pause between giving and receiving, a reminder that sweetness can be both medicine and message.

This is a fruit for those learning to rest in their strength, for soft restoration.
