Differences between custard apple and sugar apple

one. Origin of the name

The Chinese name of the sugar apple plant is custard apple. In the fruit market, sugar apple generally refers to some sugar apples that have been cultivated, optimized and specially processed. Annona is a small deciduous tree. Its fruit is made up of many round or oval ripe berries that are separated from the skin and aggregated as a whole. This fruit is a kind of water ghost. It looks like a small round protrusion, which looks like the shape of a Buddha head on a Buddha statue, so it is also called Buddha head. The Buddha statue refers to the bun on the head of the Buddha portrait or statue of Sakyamuni, so it is named Sugar Apple. The two are two names for the same plant and there is not much difference between them.

2. Differences

If sugar apple, as a fruit, must be distinguished from sugar apple, then sugar apple generally refers to a special variety of the large genus of sugar apple. It is very likely to refer to a fruit that has been optimized and re-cultivated with a better taste. But even so, sugar apple and sugar apple are still the same in appearance and habits. Their cultivation methods, growth environment, cultivation techniques and nutrient elements are also almost the same. The taste depends on personal preference. It is difficult to distinguish the difference between the two, and there is no practical significance.
