From Vietnam’s Tropical Orchards to Global Wellness

Jesko supplies premium Soursop (Annona muricata L.) from controlled orchards across the Mekong Delta and Southeast Highlands of Việt Nam.
Warm sunlight, fertile alluvial soils, and regulated irrigation shape a fruit known for its creamy pulp, floral aroma, and refreshing acidity.

Every shipment undergoes alignment in maturity index, size calibration, pulp firmness, soluble solids (Brix), packaging, and labeling ensuring sample-to-shipment consistency under FOB and CIF terms.

The Fruit of Balance — Inside Annona muricata L.

Soursop has been traditionally consumed across Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean as a fruit associated with nourishment and digestive comfort.
Scientific research confirms that Annona muricata contains phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, minerals, and annonaceous acetogenins, though their concentrations differ greatly between fruit pulp, leaves, and seeds [1,2].

Jesko emphasizes the fruit pulp as the appropriate edible part for everyday consumption.
Leaves and seeds contain significantly higher acetogenin concentration, including annonacin, which has been linked to mitochondrial and neurotoxicity risk when consumed frequently or in concentrated forms [1].

Phytochemical Composition & Safe Use Guidance

Plant Part

Dominant Bioactive Compounds

Functional Interpretation

Recommended Use

Fruit Pulp

Phenolics, vitamin C, dietary fiber, potassium

Supports antioxidant defense, hydration, gut health [4–6]

Safe for daily consumption

Leaves

Acetogenins (annonacin), flavonoids

Potential metabolic modulation in controlled / short-term herbal contexts [1,2]

Not for long-term or daily beverage use

Seeds

High acetogenin concentration

Demonstrated mitochondrial toxicity and neurodegenerative-like effects when chronically ingested [1]

Not for consumption

Bioaccessibility studies (2019–2024) show pulp phenolics remain available after digestion, supporting their functional relevance in the diet [6–8].

Functional Benefits of the Fruit Pulp

Observed Benefit

Key Contributing Factors

Antioxidant Defense

Helps modulate oxidative stress and support cellular integrity

Vitamin C & phenolic compounds [4–6]

Digestive Wellness

Supports gut motility and microbial balance

Dietary fiber

Immune Maintenance

Contributes to baseline immune function

Vitamin C & plant antioxidants

Hydration & Electrolyte Balance

Helps maintain metabolic and cardiovascular stability

Water + potassium and magnesium [3,4]

Antioxidant activity correlates positively with total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC), as confirmed in comparative pulp–peel–seed analyses [5].

 

Very Clear Safety Note

Scientific consensus indicates:

  • Neurotoxicity signals are associated with long-term, high-dose intake of leaf or seed extracts, not consumption of the fruit pulp [1].
  • The pulp remains safe, nutritious, and appropriate for routine dietary use.

Therefore:

  • Eat fruit pulp freely as part of a balanced diet.
  • Avoid daily consumption of leaf tea.
  • Do not consume seeds in any form.

 

From Harvest to Shipment

Jesko soursop is:

  • Harvested at physiological maturity
  • Pre-cooled immediately to stabilize pulp texture
  • Packed in ventilated, export-compliant cartons
  • Maintained under continuous cold-chain integrity

Each lot is traceable, sample-matched, and quality-assured for reliable global delivery.

 

From Nutrition to Evidence

Soursop exemplifies Jesko’s approach agricultural provenance, nutritional clarity, and responsible scientific communication.
From Vietnam’s fertile orchards to global markets, Jesko delivers fruit backed by integrity, consistency, and trust.

From Viet Nam to the World. Jesko — Your Trust is Our Foundation.
