Sapotes – Exploring the Unique Flavor

Sapotes are a juicy, sweet fruit that is native to Mexico and parts of Central America. Often described as having a creamy texture with a mild, sweet taste. Despite their popularity in other parts of the world, sapotes are still relatively unknown in North America. If you’re looking for an exotic new treat to try, sapote may be just the right fit! Let’s take a closer look at these unique fruits.

Types

Several varieties of sapote found in different parts of the world. The most popular types include black sapote (also known as chocolate pudding fruit), mamey sapote, white sapote, and abiu sapote. Each type varies slightly in appearance and flavor but all share the same creamy texture and sweet taste.

Black sapote is perhaps the most well-known variety and is recognizable for its dark green skin and deep orange flesh. It has a mild flavor with hints of chocolate which gives it its nickname “chocolate pudding fruit”. Mamey sapote is similar in size and shape to an avocado but has bright pink-orange flesh with a sweet flavor reminiscent of cantaloupe or pumpkin spice latte. White sapote has light yellow flesh with a mild citrus flavor, while abiu sapote has creamy yellow-green flesh with notes of honey and caramelized sugar.

Uses for Sapotes

Eaten raw or used in cooking and baking recipes such as pies, muffins, cakes, smoothies, jams, jellies, ice cream or sorbet – just like any other type of fruit! Alternatively also used to make sauces or chutneys that pair perfectly with pork chops or grilled fish dishes. Even used as a natural food coloring when making desserts such as cupcakes or puddings!
