Elephant House has always been conscious of the Sri Lankan preference in taste and flavour. Adding to its portfolio of unique flavours, Elephant House launched its Anodha ice cream (using natural soursop) in Sri Lanka last week.

The green, spiky, heart shaped exterior of the soursop may not be appetising, but once you feast your taste buds in the luscious creamy white flesh of the fruit there is no stopping.

Soursop is known in Sri Lanka to be full of nutrients beneficial to human health and is said to contain large amounts of Vitamin C, B1 and B12.

These nutrients are important to help support higher energy levels, emotional stability, and mental clarity. The fruit is also rich in carbohydrates and is said to be a natural remedy for many diseases.

"Soursop ice cream is an extension of the natural based product portfolio of Elephant House and reaffirms our commitment to high quality product and brand innovation," said Head of Frozen Confectionery Elephant House Neil Samarasinghe.

"We know that the new Soursop ice cream will be quickly accepted. Our research shows that the market has been awaiting an all natural ice cream that does not compromise taste." he said.
