What is this food?
Custard apple (also called atis) is a sweet, creamy fruit. For every 100 g, it’s about 131 kcal and provides carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and natural sugars.
Why it matters to health
Custard apple can be a nice snack or dessert option because it has dietary fiber (2.9 g) which helps support regular digestion and keeps you fuller. It also has very low fat (0.2 g) and no cholesterol, so it’s lighter compared with many sweet treats. However, it’s also naturally sweet, with 22.9 g sugar per 100 g and 31 g total carbohydrates, so portion size matters—especially if you’re managing blood sugar or watching your total carbs for the day. Sodium is very low (5 mg), which is good for everyday heart-friendly eating.
Healthier tips
- Keep portions small: try 1 small serving (about 1/2 cup or less) especially if you’re having rice or bread in the same meal.
- Pair it with protein or healthy fat to balance your snack (e.g., a small serving of yogurt, milk, or a handful of nuts).
- Use it as a dessert after a full meal rather than replacing meals—this helps keep your daily energy and sugar more balanced.
- Since it has natural sugar, avoid having it too often in the day; aim for 1 snack with fruit and keep the other snack lighter.
