Personally I dont care how long ago these videos are I'm binging the entire playlist of fruits, I've always been interested in various cultures such as how they celebrate certain occasions, their religions, folklore, and foods especially food!!
You can get these at farmer's markets in California, especially southern California for about $2.50 to $4 per pound. I've eaten them from several different sources and have come to the conclusion that there is quite a big of variance from tree to tree. The named cultivars (e.g. Sue Bell) seem to be sweeter, with less bitterness in the skin but also smaller. The natural trees grown from seed aren't as sweet, just moderate, but have larger fruit. I started out peeling them but it was so difficult because the flesh is mushy when they're ripe. I just eat the skin now. as they ripen, some varieties get a slight yellowish tinge, others are still pure green, but soft and ripe and ready.
living here in california i've had many white sapotes. looks like that particular sapote was picked too soon and therefore did not ripen properly. when properly ripe, white sapotes are extremely sweet and, in my opinion, delicious.
The white sapotes I've eaten have all had a rainbow sherbert flavor and texture. They are one of my favorite fruits but hard to find in any regular vendor or even at a farmers market.
Rad. Hopefully you ate that under ripe, because it doesn’t sound to appealing. My tree is fruiting for the first time and one just fell off. Looking forward to my first taste!
looks too green to eat for white sapote. I've had a few that were softer and more pale green and ripe. I didn't have a problem biting into them and eating the skin as well. Soft, sweet with hint of vanilla and caramel is what I came up with. I'm hoping to plant a sapling in my garden or grow from seed. They're delicious!
You can’t judge the fruit by what you tasted was not ripe you must try a ripe one sweet with banana pear and some mango flavor you can get from south florida
My job is the removal of feral cats across northern east Australia where these critters have become a MAJOR problem...They are also returning to a Lynx style animal much larger than the domestic version from which they come. If you cat still bothers you I can help... :)
Mamey is pronounced muh-may Abiu is abby-U Sapodilla is sap-oh-dee-yah Also the white sapote you got is really under ripe, they turn kind of yellow when they're ripe.
Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure about the white sapote, but decided to eat it since it was getting brown spots... It needs to ripen on the tree, no?
It doesn't have to ripen on the tree but if you pick them too early they just get soft and eventually rot. Perfectly ripened ones should taste similar to cherimoya. Also I take back the last part of that comment, not all white sapote turn yellow, there's a few types that turn pale green when ripe.
