This seed was sprouting inside the cherimoya. Is this normal? Do other fruits do this?

Yup- quite normal in warm weather- specially if it rained just before harvest and the sugar content (and sometimes germination inhibitors) of the fruit is diluted.
I've found this once before in lemons. Good luck with the cherimoya!
I had sprouting tomato seeds today! It made me think twice about whether the tomato was still edible... but it didn't seem in any way rotten/ing, so into the salsa it went! I was impressed, the sprouts even had the beginnings of green leaflets on them, without any exposure to sunlight!
Thanks Peter. I have planted it and will see how we go.
Yes! I have bought apples at this time of the year with sprouting pips.
Nature at work!
