Abiu is a bright yellow fruit with sweet, see-through flesh that tastes like caramel custard and feels really smooth and delicious. It's a special treat for those who can grow it in warm places like the tropics. Originally from South America, especially the Amazon, it's loved for its yummy flavor and is even used in Brazil to help with coughs and bronchitis. People enjoy it best when it's a bit cool. Just cut it in half, scoop out the flesh with a spoon, and savor it. It's also great for adding flavor to ice cream and desserts.
