Episode 2 - Custard Apple

 
Hello again! Finally got another sunny day to shoot my second video. I have videos coming up on Cooking banana flower and Okra.  
My friend was nice enough to drop me these yummy Custard apples because he knew I was on a search for them. Took a couple days for them to fully ripen but was totally worth it. Custard apples were once common in Kerala but now it's rarely found. Though the number of products with "Sitaphal" flavor is increasing, their farming in Kerala hasn't seen much growth. 
Many efforts are put into creating a variety with lesser seeds and more pulp. But someone who loves nature as much as I do would only choose an organic variety that's both good for the earth and human beings.
Native to South America and the West Indies, sitaphal was introduced to India by  the Portuguese during the 16th century AD. Amazingly, its appearance has been noted in ancient Indian sculptures. There is a depiction of custard apple in the Bharhut and Sanchi sculptures in Madhya Pradesh, the Ajanta Caves in Maharashtra, and the carvings at Mathura in Uttar Pradesh from the 2nd century BC. thebetterIndia
