Soursop (Graviola)

Soursop, also known as graviola, guanabana, or Guyabano, is the fruit of Annona muricata, a broadleaf, flowering, evergreen tree native to the tropical regions of the Americas and the Caribbean. It is widely grown in tropical climates worldwide, including parts of Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands.

Because soursop is a raw agricultural product rather than a manufactured brand, its ownership does not fall under an ultimate corporate hierarchy in the traditional sense. It is typically harvested by independent farmers or small-scale agricultural cooperatives and distributed through local markets or international produce exporters. The fruit is prized for its creamy white pulp and unique flavor profile, often described as a combination of strawberry and pineapple with sour citrus notes.
