The atemoya, "Annona ×atemoya", is a cross between two tropical fruits – the sweetsop ("Annona squamosa") and the cherimoya ("Annona cherimola") – which are both native fruits of the tropical Americas. This fruit is popular in Taiwan where it is known as the "pineapple sweetsop" (鳳梨釋迦) and is sometimes mistaken for a cross between the sweetsop and the pineapple. In Cuba this fruit is called "mamon", and in Venezuela "chirimorinon".

An atemoya is normally heart-shaped or rounded, with pale-green, easily-bruised, bumpy skin. It is very juicy and smooth, with the white flesh tasting slightly sweet and a little tart, reminiscent of a Piña Colada. There are many inedible black seeds throughout the flesh of the atemoya. The seeds are toxic. [http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/atemoya.html Purdue New Crops Profile] ]
