Does This Fruit Really Taste Like Chocolate Pudding? Black Sapote Tasting & Growing

Today we'll be exploring black sapote to find out if this fruit really tastes like chocolate pudding. I'll also talk a bit about growing them, and show you my black sapote trees that I grew from seed, including showing you the things that went well and not so well with the growing in my experience.
Black sapote (Diospyros nigra), also called chocolate pudding fruit, are in the persimmon family, and are native to Mexico, Central America and Columbia. Seedlings are frost tender, but when mature and established, the trees can survive light frosts and temperatures down to around -2.2C (28F).
These fruit trees are quite beautiful and the unusual fruit is like nothing I've tried before. Definitely a great rare fruit tree to incorporate into a subtropical garden.
If these are too tropical to grow in your area, I also show my persimmon tree, (related to black sapote), which might be a more suitable option for you to grow in your area. My tree is a 'Fuyu' Persimmon and can be grown down to USDA cold hardiness Zone 7.

This is what you're supposed to do with persimmon too. You're supposed to let them go half-rotten (a process called 'bletting'), before eating. They end up the consistency of pudding, and they taste amazing. The more bletted they are, the more sweet they become.

I never would have thought black sapote and persimmon could be related but it makes sense. Persimmon fruits grow in many different shapes, sizes, and traits from being the firm, sweet, and squat pumpkin shaped ones (my favorite), the super sweet, jelly-like roma tomato shaped ones, or the horribly astringent pre-frost, berry shaped mountain persimmon.

Part of my family is from Mexico and my Oma from the side of my mother family had this beautiful vast garden in the property she used to own before my Grandpa had two episodes of strokes and a brain tumor and had to sell it for money. I remember that in her huge garden she had this weird but tasty fruit among hibiscus, pineapple, all sorts of weird nuts and many other plants both common and weird looking. I remember the first generation of grandkids whenever we met at their home during the holidays, we would eat a lot of them and in the place where my Oma used to live, it was pretty common to roast them and serve them with freshly squeezed orange juice or as a candied treat that was really tasty and décadent. The pair of the fruit and the juice was exquisite and for a boy at the time born and raised solely in Germany, it was quite the exotic oddity that helped me got rid of my picky eating behaviours when I was a kid. Whenever we went to visit Oma, she would also make them into a candy or to be exact several forms of candy and while yes, I do agree that they don't taste like chocolate pudding, the texture is very silky and pudding like and when made into candy, they were really close to tasting like chocolate to my surprise but maybe it was due to the cane sugar she used and other ingredients she might had cooked with. There was also a cactus that normally is eaten along side Black Sapote also as a candy that had this really unique flavour and texture that was pretty wild and weird in a very good and unique way but think nowadays it is an endangered species and you can no longer eat it as it is illegal and it can put you to jail which is really sad. I'm happy people are getting interested on exotic fruits. Some are really weird, tasty and fun to eat.

@mixwellmusic2633 Год назад

Thanks for these videos! My baby black zapote trees seem to be doing well here in Guatemala (sprouted from seed, from some delicious fruits i got in mexico). Out here the fruits do get much bigger as you mentioned, but in my experience they should stay green even when fully mature. Theyve turned black for me like this when i kept them in a plastic bag (even just for a day) and the flavour turned sour. When they were left to ripen properly they stayed green even when super soft and almost falling apart, and then they really do taste just like chocolate pudding!! But any fruits I've eaten that weren't perfectly ripe like that never developed the chocolate flavour.

That's an interesting looking variety, the ones I've seen tasted elsewhere have always as you said been much bigger but also green even when really shrivelled and more of a dark brown inside. I've never tasted one of course in the UK but I always felt they got their name from the appearance. I suspect some people might think they taste a bit chocolatey because the appearance autosuggests the flavour to the brain, sight can be a powerful convincer lol

I live in southern California in the USA near the Mexican border my climate along the coast is classified as a Mediterranean climate. I grow black sapotes, white sapotes, and chico sapotes(also known as sapodillas). I also have a mamey sapote in the ground and I hope it will grow and fruit. one thing about Black Sapotes is that there are male and female plants. There is also a tree which is both male and female and that one is self fruitful. Since seedlings are unpredictable and you might not get fruit, it's that you need a male or female tree near it to produce fruit.I know that Australia has some fanatastic Black sapote varieties. In Mexico when they eat the black sapote they add a little fresh orange juice to the pulp it is delicious. Also they make a Black sapote sorbet out for the pulp look up the recipe in the internet I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Doesnt taste like chocolate but it's really good. Silky like avacado texture, nutty and a bit blue berryish. You scoop it and spread it on bread with butter they are so good.
