Reminds me of a fruit I know as Chico Zapote: Inedible when unripe (feels like green bananas and not sweet), then edible for a day, then too sugary for its enjoyment a day later. When ripe/rotten is good in small quantities, but it feels so much like eating sugar that I can’t handle more than half of it.
- ppezaris 6y agoWe have a couple of black sapote trees in our yard; sounds similar.
- thitcanh 6y agoAhh I love black sapote too. Indeed you eat it when it feels rotten, except black sapote isn’t particularly sweet, at least the very few ones I tried in Oaxaca. Did you know… black sapotes are of the same family of persimmons? If you focus, you’ll notice that they taste very similar.
- pvaldes 6y ago> of the same family Is an american cousin, Persimmons are Diospyros kaki and Black sapotes are Diospyros nigra, so technically is a black persimmon. In US there are other obscure native persimmons also like Diospyros texana
