Once a crop is harvested, it is almost impossible to improve its quality. Losses of horticultural crops occur due to improper storage and handling. Proper storage conditions are necessary to lengthen storage life and maintain quality once the crop has been cooled to the optimum storage temperature.

There are four main growing areas for Custard Apples in Australia. These areas can be found along the sub-tropical and tropical coast of the eastern seaboard, from the Atherton Tablelands in North Queensland to Lismore in Northern NSW.

Custard Apples provide a well balanced food source with ample protein, minerals, vitamins, energy and essential fibre. Vitamins A and C are vital for healthy skin, eyes, hair and body tissues. These vitamins battle those elements which age and destroy our cells.  Magnesium is natures tranquiliser. It helps cleanse our systems, improves endurance and our ability to process oxygen and body-building amino acids.
