SAPODILLA Fruit | Fruity Fruits Taste Test

[@AlvinEarl73]

This fruit is also indigenous to the tropics and is abundant here in the Philippines. Over here it is called Chico

[@super29d]

Same in Guatemala. Same name too.

[@amnaqazi6278]

Omg that's what they're called in Pakistan too😄😄😄

[@shabdarya6859]

same in India as well! :D

[@Krushniccc]

Yep! I absolutely love chico~ It is almost like sugar :)

[@avariceseven9443]

I don't want to be that guy but "indigenous" is not the word you're looking for. It was introduced here by Spain (I think), since Emy said it's origin is central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. It does grow in the Philippines though and it's one of my favorite fruits that sadly, I haven't eaten in a long time, like decades.

[@josephhardin8391]

I always described it as having a sandy texture but yours is much better!

[@arianakiva]

My first experience with Sapodilla was when I was in Northern Bali. I was on a bus traveling with a local guide who spoke English and at one of the stops someone was selling fruit and Komong purchased one and brought it to me all excited and gave me a spoonful. It was so amazing.. exactly as you describe, like eating a fruit that was emulating brown sugar. I finally was able to find it again at a fruit stand that has been in South Florida for many years called Robert Is Here. I recommend you checking them out as well. Right now, their shipping has slowed down but I expect that they'll do more again in the future.

[@emccoy]

The chicle from the tree was used by both the Mayans and the Aztecs as gum. It is also were chiclets get there name.

we call it "chico" in the philippines. spaniards brought that to the philippines. the bark of the tree is used to make gums by the japanese soldiers. it tastes malty and sugary, that’s why if you have a drink of alcohol, they always say you smell like “chico” because of the malt flavor in chico...

[@fulcrumg]

Hello Emmy, in Colombia, specially in the northern region (Caribbean) is called Níspero. We colombians love it! When ripe it is very, very sweet, almost like raw cane sugar. It is mainly used in juices and shakes. I personaly love it to eat it straight with a spoon with a drizzle of condensed milk. It's so popular in the caribbean region, that even mainstream icecream shops have the flavor. There are other typical fruits down here, like sapote, mamei and guanábana (sourpop), among other less known tropical fruits, that does need an aquired taste...

[@camae]

We call them chico in the Philippines🇵🇭. We have a couple of trees that bears fruit all year long.the fruit bats around us loves them! And it does have a beer like smell. That's why we often describe drunks as "amoy chico" Or in english, Smells like chico.

I work in retail and in a less than desirable area. Yesterday near my job they found 2 bodies buried at a home and one of them was a girl who had been missing since Dec. She was a customer of mine with a young daughter and her mother was beside herself wondering where her daughter was. She was 27 years old. In a 9 month time span I've had 5 customers arrested for murder and 2 murdered. With that said I just wanna tell you Emmy that it's nice to see a warm smile and hear your kind words when so much of the world is dark and ugly. I can come home after a trying day and watch your videos and for at least 10 mins everything seems ok. If only everyone could be so pleasant. Thank you for being a welcoming open person bringing a little light to the darkness.

Also just like the Mamey it needs to have wrinkled mushy skin. Just like you said unripe is astringent in taste and persimmon do the exact same thing and the black sapote is also part of the persimmon family. Trying to find a reasonable place for the black sapote.

It is known as Chikoo in India and we can have this with the skin also, it is a most common fruit in India like Banana, apple and watermelon. No need to wait for the fruit to get over ripe it can catch worms inside. So you can have it once it is firm when you gently press it. You can keep the raw sapote in warm or room temperature place and give 1 or 2 days rest period so that you have a riped fruit.

Sapodilla fruit is very delicate and must be handled carefully otherwise it ripens poorly. If left alone to ripen in a brown paper bag without too much handling, the fruit will ripen firm not squishy. It's a very sweet delicious fruit. One of my childhood favourites.

You can peel it like a Kiwi. The skin is really thin. When freshly plucked from the tree, you don't need to wait till it's wrinkly. Give it a soft squeeze to see if it has the texture of med rare steak. If it does, its ready to eat.

[@joross69]

In the Philippines, we wash the skin very well so that we can just bite right into the fruit and eat it, skin and all…it does taste like wine if it’s too ripe because it is starting to ferment
