I have 4 ginormous sapodilla trees on my property. Two give pumpkin shaped fruit with dark flesh, sometimes slightly grainy (not at all offensive), intensely sweet and richly flavored. I couldn't pin down what the flavor was exactly until the other day when it just hit me - root beer! It tastes like the best root beer ever! Has anyone else ever detected root beer flavor in a sapodilla or is it just me (or just my sapodillas)?
