Magical Moya
This green, bumpy fruit is among the earliest recorded New World fruit. All
varieties have a thick, soft, inedible skin with shiny, watermelon like seeds.
The atemoya, cherimoya, soursop, and sweetsop are usually labeled "moya" for
marketing convenience.They are about 4 inches in diameter with the soursop twice
as large. Moya is eaten when the fruit yields to pressure like a ripe avocado.
Moya Tips
Chill and peel the fruit, remove all seeds, and cut into chunks or puree the
pulp. Use moya in fruit salad, smoothies, tropical drinks, sorbet, and salad
dressing.
