I bought some sapota this evening. They were twenty rupees, which is about fifty cents, for six. They are a sweet musky tasting fruit. The texture of their flesh is similar in some ways to a pear. I quite like the flavour but not as much as I like guava. They have between  one and six very hard shiny black pips that look a bit like a bean seed.

The fruit is actually a berry off the sapodilla tree. Apparently they are native to the Mexico, Central America area but can be found throughout Asia.

The fruit are full of vitamins and unfortunately glucose so they are good for athletes. I just ate three for the purposes of research so I guess I should go for a run around the block now.
