Can you eat it raw?
To eat a soursop raw—which is perfectly acceptable and delicious—cut it in half, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Be sure to work around or spit out any seeds, as they are known to be somewhat toxic if consumed without processing. Alternatively, you can remove the skin and bite into it like an apple (still avoiding seeds) or cut it into apple-like slices and enjoy the flesh straight off the skin.
