The Tropical Fruit Forum

Some are quite sweet. if you leave them to get dark browny green where the bottom of the fruit cracks a little with only the weight of the the fruit, you can transfer it to a plastic container in the fridge so the pulp can thicken/firm up. With a good moist type there will be a juice in the plastic container and you can drink it. It is very sweet.

If you are trying to sell it to the wife, just tell her its a low calorie desert. Just add a dolop of cream and some honey, or OJ, or Cointreau. Loverly!

Try to find a moist type if you can. Like most fruits, there are variances in fruit quality, with some being terrible mealy things that dont even beat down well into pudding, let alone stand up to out of hand eating.

I heard they can be sweet in mexico and Queensland  I wonder why not here..

Has anyone had success planting black sapote from seed and getting a productive tree ?
