On the outside, it's a normal green fruit, but when fully ripe, its flesh becomes dark, soft, and creamy.
The black sapote, known as the chocolate pudding fruit, surprises with its combination of an unremarkable green appearance and a rich flavor reminiscent of a light chocolate dessert. Native to Mexico and Central America, it belongs to the Ebenaceae family and ripens in an unusual way: the firm green flesh becomes almost black and soft when the fruit is fully ripe. At this point, the texture transforms into a silky cream, and the sweetness unfolds naturally, without additives. The flavor is reminiscent of a delicate, slightly caramelized pudding with cocoa notes, despite containing neither chocolate nor sugar. The fruit is prized for its pleasant texture and low calorie content; it is used to make spreads, smoothies, and desserts, serving as a natural alternative to chocolate creams.
