Right on Barry, I thought the same thing.  Wife loves to eat them, I would
rather eat the other annonas.  Only problem there is a wasp tha has been
introduced to the state that feeds on the seeds on these fruits.  It
doesn't feed on the fruits pulp, but it become inedible as the fruit trys
to heal it self and produces a corky tissue in the fruit.
