Chico Sapote (1lb)
Quantity: 1lb | Approx. 6pcs
Origin: India
Seasonality: July
Tree Ripened x By Air
Chico, or Sapodilla, has a unique flavour that makes them a great introduction to all Sapote fruits. When ripe, the flavour is an incredibly sweet combination of brown sugar, sweet potato, pear and rich caramel. Sapodilla is high in fibre, antioxidants, and vitamin C.
Your Chico will be ready to eat when the fruit is soft and wrinkly (note: this can take up to 10 days sometimes). If Sapodilla is eaten too early the fruit will have an astringent taste and texture. When ripe the flesh will become incredibly soft and pulpy (similar to Pawpaw).
Preparation Ideas: when the skin is brown and soft to the touch the Chico is ready to be eaten. Simply cut the fruit in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Do NOT eat the seeds as they have a tiny hook in them that could get lodged in your throat. We recommend eating Sapodilla raw to maximize all of their amazing nutritional benefits.
