Soursop, named for its tangy, slightly sour flavor, originated in South America and the West Indies. It is also known as Guanabana, Guanaba, Cabeza de Negro or Zopote de Viejas, and other names. The trees are fast-growers, bearing fruit in 3 to 5 years. Soursop has many potential health benefits, including:
Immune system: Soursop is high in vitamin C, which can help boost your immune system and protect your skin and cells. 
Digestive health: Soursop's high fiber content can help with digestion. 
Blood pressure: Soursop may help manage blood pressure. 
Anti-inflammatory: Soursop has anti-inflammatory properties. 
Antimicrobial: Soursop extracts can be effective against bacteria, viruses, and parasites. 
Cancer prevention: Laboratory studies have shown that soursop extracts can kill some types of cancer cells, but more research is needed to understand its effects on humans. 
Pain relief: Soursop may help relieve pain.
 
Taste: The ripe flesh is white to ivory, soft, granular, and slightly fibrous. The fruit emits a tropical aroma, and its flavor is a sweet yet tangy mix with musky undertones, blending notes of banana, strawberry, coconut, mango, and pineapple.
