Graviola (Annona muricata), also known as Soursop, is a small evergreen tree with large, dark green, glossy leaves that is native to the Amazon Rainforest and other tropical areas of the Americas.
It produces a large, heart shaped edible fruit that is 15 to 23 cm in diameter, is yellow-green in colour, and has a white flesh. In Brazil, the juice is a popular drink, and is known as Guanábana.
Many active compounds have been found in all parts of the plant - including the leaf, bark, root, stem, and seed. Graviola is becoming increasing well known as a source of antioxidants called annonaceous acetogenins, which are found mainly in the leaf and seeds.
Graviola tea is prepared from the leaves of the plant.
