Storage & Care Instructions

• Firm/Unripe Custard Apple: Store at room temperature (20°C–25°C) in a dark, well-ventilated space or wrapped in brown paper. They will ripen and soften within 2 to 4 days.

• Ripe Custard Apple: Extremely delicate when soft. Refrigerate whole ripe fruit at 4°C–8°C to delay over-ripening, and consume within 1 to 2 days.

• Pulp Storage: Scoop out the pulp, remove all black seeds, and store the pulp in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

• Handling Tip: Handle gently to avoid crushing the soft segments. The black seeds and skin are non-edible and contain alkaloids; discard them completely before consumption.
