About Black sapote
Black sapote is a tropical fruit that is usually eaten when fully ripe. Its smooth green skin surrounds soft, dark brown to nearly black pulp, which is commonly scooped out and eaten fresh or used in desserts and drinks. The fruit is sold whole and may also be found as pulp or puree.
Unripe fruit is firm and astringent, while ripe pulp is very soft and custard-like. Its mild, sweet flavour is often described as reminiscent of chocolate, though the fruit is not chocolate. Ripeness strongly affects both flavour and texture, so unripe and ripe fruit are not equivalent forms for culinary use.
