Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: ‘Tikal’ sapodilla cultivar
« on: February 04, 2025, 05:54:51 PM »I will be posting a Sapodilla tasting review of a few different varieties, including Tikal.
Tikal was my least favorite variety, for a couple of reasons. The texture was softer and more watery when ripe. The flavor was also the least complex with very little spice. It tastes sweet, but not exciting or very flavorful. Tikal lacks the caramel, vanilla, honey, cinnamon and other tropical notes you get from better tasting varieties.
It's not one I would grow. Moreno, Hasya, Silas Wood, Alano and Molix are all superior.
If you havent tried Excalibur I think it ranks right next to Butterscotch. More of a complex flavor with notes of caramel.
