A ripe sugar-apple will feel soft when gently pressed and the segments of the skin may start to slightly pull apart, revealing the white pulp.
Are sugar-apple seeds edible?
No, the seeds are not edible and should be discarded. They contain alkaloids that can be toxic if crushed and ingested.

Can I freeze sugar-apple?
