Icaco

Icaco, or cocoplum, is a tropical coastal fruit with variable ripening colours and mildly sweet, sometimes astringent flesh, eaten fresh or preserved.

About Icaco

Icaco, also called cocoplum, is the fruit of a tropical coastal shrub. The small fruit is round or oval and can be pale, pink, purple, or nearly black as it ripens. Its flesh surrounds a relatively large pit. The fruit is eaten fresh in places where it is available and is also used in preserves and other fruit preparations.

Texture and flavour vary by type and ripeness; the flesh may be soft and mildly sweet, sometimes with a subtle astringency. Icaco is generally encountered as fresh fruit, though it may also be cooked or preserved. It is a distinct fruit, not a name for plums generally, and colour alone does not establish a particular variety.
