SAPODILLA – 10lbs

  SAPODILLA

SAPODILLA (Manilkara zapota), also known as sapota or naseberry, is a large tropical berry native to southern Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. When ripe, sapodillas are considered a luxury fruit that is primarily consumed fresh to savor the flesh’s sweet, malty flavor resembling that of a pear. The fruits have also been traditionally consumed in beverages among civilizations as a nutritious source of vitamins and minerals.buy sapodilla online

Generally, the ripe sapodilla, unchilled or preferably chilled, is merely cut in half and the flesh is eaten with a spoon. It is an ideal dessert fruit as the skin, which is not eaten, remains firm enough to serve as a “shell”. The flesh may be scooped out and added to fruit cups or salads. Sapodillas pair well with fruits such as bananas, passion fruit, oranges, and limes, spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, cacao powder, vanilla, honey, brown sugar, and whipped cream.buy sapodilla online

Sapodillas are an excellent source of fiber to stimulate the digestive tract and act as a natural cleanser for the body. The fruits are also rich in vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, provide some vitamin A to protect against vision loss, and contain lower amounts of iron, copper, and potassium. In addition to vitamins and minerals, Sapodillas are a source of tannins, which are compounds known as polyphenols that have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
