Guanabana
The large green fruit is called Guanabana. It's white inside with black seeds. It is a pretty tasty fruit and is used to make juice, agua fresca and paletas de hielo.
Guanabana - Soursop is what it looks like to me

I forgot what the locals called it in Melaque. 'cabeza de negro' Not very PC.
Ones on the beach looked larger than yours
I saw this fruit at the Tianguis a couple of weeks ago, and the vendor told me it was called "noni". Not sure if that is the same as guanabana or not. I just looked at some photos of noni on google images and it looks very similar to your photo.
Thanks everyone. I just saw the same fruit at Mega labeled guanabana. So I guess that is it. Leslie now that I know what to do with it, I'll have to buy one or two.
Noni is "Morinda citrifolia" and Guanabana is "Annona muricata".
Billie:
If you look at one of our December blog posts entitled: "Organized and Ready to Explore", you will see the same fruit. It is Guanabana. We had a drink and it was very tasty.
It is definitely Guanabana. Not a personal favorite, but have tried it from time to time. Did you purchase one?
No did not purchase a guanabana. I guess I should just to say I've tried it.
It looks cool! I wonder how it tastes.
it's great in milkshakes and smoothies. very tasty. it can also be used if you like to make ice cream-yum! i used to have it when i was a little girl in cuba and always got the name mixed up with a beach called guanabacoa. i think either of those words would be hard for a 6 year old to pronounce.

Guanabana is the BEST. Go to a Michoacan paleta shop and try a paleta. We have a LOL here who makes guanabana agua fresca in season and it is The Best.
I love guanabana but I've never had it fresh. :)
