Origin and Producer

The guanabana (soursop) fruit is obtained from tropextrakt from Vietnam, Malaysia, and Colombia. Although the offer comes from different parts of the world, buying guanabana as a whole fruit is difficult. Its fruity body is extremely sensitive to pressure in the mature state, making it very difficult to be transported. However, the guanabana puree can be processed without any loss of quality and applied to different products.
