As the monsoon ends, custard apples flood the markets. Sweet, creamy, and loved by many, this seasonal fruit isn’t just tasty — it is also packed with traditional Ayurvedic benefits.
While custard apple is delicious and nutritious, experts point out it is not for everyone. Some enjoy it in abundance, while others avoid it due to possible side effects.
Available for just three to four months a year, custard apples are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, magnesium, copper, and fibre—making them a short-lived but nutrient-packed delight.
From easing digestion to boosting eye health, custard apple offers several benefits. Its fibre supports the stomach, vitamin A sharpens vision, and its natural healing compounds help relieve pain and strain.
For arthritis patients, custard apple can ease discomfort. Its potassium content fights fatigue and weakness, while regular intake also supports better heart health.
Despite its goodness, custard apple comes with a warning—its natural sugars make it risky for diabetics. People with high blood sugar should eat it in moderation and seek medical advice.
Since custard apple has a cooling effect, those prone to colds, coughs, or sneezing should avoid overindulgence. When eaten in the right amount, though, it’s a fruit that brings both taste and health.
