Fruit of the Week: Chico Sapote

Fruit of the Week

Chico Sapote

This fruit is an odd one, to say the least. It's texture is a bit like that of a potato that hasn't quite been boiled to completion. It tastes simultaneously a bit sickly sweet and bland. With all of that being said, it's not an entirely unpleasant fruit. It is somewhat reminiscent of a bosc pear, but without that good ole familiar pear taste. I'd give it a 4 out of 10. 

Rachel thinks it's an interesting fruit for sure. She says that the first bite is the best, because at first there's a brown sugary taste. However, the texture isn't good, and as you eat it the taste gets less good as well. She also stresses the importance of letting it ripen correctly, or she says the taste is all off. She'd eat it again if someone offered it to her but wouldn't go out of her way to buy it again.

Tamalam did not consume this fruit to the best of my knowledge and is currently unavailable for comment.
