Nutrition fact of the day: Custard apple, the creamy winter fruit that supports digestion and brain health

Winter brings custard apples to markets, those green, bumpy ones with creamy insides that taste like a blend of banana and pineapple. Called sitaphal around here or Annona squamosa in labs, this fruit does more than taste great. It helps your gut run smooth and keeps your brain on point, thanks to solid fiber and vitamins backed by real studies.Picture grabbing a medium one, about 100 calories from natural sugars, with 2 to 3 grams of fiber thrown in. You get vitamin C like from oranges, plus B6, magnesium, potassium, and antioxidants. Feels like a dessert that sneaks in health perks. Literally, its too sweet to be true!
