Sugar Apple

The Sweet and Wholesome "Srikaya" of Our Garden

As you explore the tranquil pathways of our jungle resort, you might encounter a curious, bumpy green fruit hanging from the trees. This is the sugar apple, known to locals as srikaya or Annona squamosa. While it's native to the tropical Americas, it has found a welcoming home in Bali, becoming a cherished fruit for its uniquely sweet and custard-like flesh. The taste is a blend of creamy pear and pineapple, making it a favorite for desserts and a refreshing treat on a warm day.

Beyond its delightful flavor, the sugar apple is packed with a wealth of health benefits. It's an excellent source of Vitamin C, which is vital for boosting the immune system. It also contains high levels of antioxidants that help protect the body from free radicals and support overall wellness. Its rich fiber content aids in digestion, and its natural sugars provide a quick and healthy energy boost.

At Sanggraloka Ubud, our farm-to-table philosophy means that we cultivate a variety of tropical fruits, including the sugar apple, in our organic garden. This allows us to share the purest flavors of Bali with our guests, from the fruits in your breakfast bowl to the ingredients in our desserts. We invite you to discover the delicious and wholesome bounty that our garden provides, a true taste of nature's generosity in the heart of the jungle.
