There are natural products in nature that strengthen the immune system much better than drugs in an entire pharmacy. One of these natural products is the exotic and still not very well-known fruit guanabana, which can also be found under the names sorsop and graviola.

The tree is evergreen and can be seen in southern America and Asia, and the height of the tree reaches seven meters. The fruit has an ovoid shape and has a green color - the whole is covered with soft and short thorns.

The interesting thing about it is that it is large and a fruit weighs between two and six kilograms - inside it has a fleshy texture with tiny black seeds.

The taste that guanabana has can be broadly explained as special - something like a combination of strawberry with pineapple and a slight hint of citrus fruit.
