The neurotoxin in question is annonacin: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annonacin https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annonacin So I'd recommend enjoying it only in moderation, and don't give it to your kids.
- Loughla 2y agoWe used to have a stand of these on our farm that died years ago. So I found a supplier for native trees and replanted. They started fruiting this year, and I was super excited. Every old person said they were great, the Internet said they were great. I remember loving them as a kid! How can I miss? I planned the exact species that was here before! They taste like a banana and a sweaty gym sock had a baby, and that baby grew up raised by a pineapple. They are gross.
