Soursop: The Tropical Superfruit That’s Redefining Wellness

What Is Soursop?

Soursop (Annona muricata), also known as Graviola or Guanábana, is a tropical fruit native to Central and South America, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa and Southeast Asia. Known for its sweet, tangy flavor and spiky green skin, soursop has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to support immunity, digestion, and energy.

Today, it’s being recognized globally as a functional powerhouse—rich in antioxidants, acetogenins, vitamin C, and bioactive compounds that are turning heads in both scientific and consumer markets.
