Black sapote (''Diospyros digyna'') is a species of Persimmon native to eastern Mexico and Central America south to Colombia . Mature trees can grow to over 25 m in height and are Evergreen . The Leaves are elliptic-oblong, tapered at both ends, glossy, and 10-30 cm long. Black sapote Fruit are tomato-like and measure 5-10 cm in diameter, with an inedible skin which turns from olive to a deep yellow-green when ripe and an edible, brown pulp whose flavor and texture are often likened to Chocolate Pudding . Black sapote is unrelated to the Mamey Sapote (Sapotaceae), and the White Sapote (Rutaceae). The fruit is seasonal and may be difficult to find. When in Mexico City , the fruit markets of Coyoacan are a good place to find Sapote Negro, as it is locally known. REFERENCES |
