So I was given a custard apple today and it seemed to be ripe.
Ripe enough where some of the skin would slough off with gentle pressure.
I began to eat it and noticed the following.
As I ate of the flesh I chewed on the harder parts and came in contact with seeds.
The majority of these seeds were sprouted and as a result split in half and sometimes fell to pieces from gentle chewing.
I am used to these seeds being so hard that no matter how firmly you bite them they stay together.
My question is this....before I stopped eating the fruit I may have crunched 6-8 seeds.
The first one or two really came apart.
I slowed my roll and began to pick it apart before eating but finally I gave up because even doing it by hand the seeds were splitting in half.
I am not feeling ill....it has been maybe 20 minutes.
Anyone ever have this happen to them?
Any ill effects?
