It is a kind of ironical that the prices of tropical fruits are going up faster than the temperate fruits. Not only that, certain tropical fruits are hard to find or has become ‘extinct’. Soursop is one of them.
Most of the tropical fruits in general are far superior in nutrients than the temperate fruits.One of them is soursop. There is evidence indicating that the fruit's extracts can selectively inhibit the growth of human breast cancer in a mouse model, though this has not been studied in humans. Research also suggested a connection between consumption of soursop and Parkinson's disease due to its very high concentration of annonacin.
Guava is another one, very rich in dietary fibre, vitamins, folic acid. A single common guava fruit contains about four times the amount of vitamin C as an orange. Watermelon has lycopene which is considered a potential agent for prevention of some types of cancers,especially prostate cancer. (Source: Wikipaedia)
