Black sapote - fruit with chocolate flavor

For sladkoezhek



I'm sure many all childhood thinking, and why fruits and vegetables can not taste the same as those chocolates? Well, one fruit with chocolate flavor (namely - chocolate pudding) exists in nature - a black sapote.

Despite the bright taste of chocolate, black sapote - fruit, and contains very little fat. But there are four times more Vitamin C than in orange, and a lot of calcium and phosphorus. Tasty fruit - a relative of persimmon; that everyone must have seen - it has orange flesh, and in Zapote - almost black. Do not let sticky fruit confuse you - taste and aroma are worth to try it.

Thin-skinned black Zapote - dark green. If you cut the fruit in half, you get a delicious ripe pulp consistency similar to custard. Overripe Zapote may seem ugly, but it tastes just as good as a ripe fruit.





Fruits black Zapote five to ten centimeters in diameter. They grow in Mexico and Central America on the beautiful trees with shiny dark green leaves and bark black. Trees grow not only in the tropics - they thrive at a height of one and a half to two kilometers.

Fruits mostly seedless, but sometimes they can be five or six oval seeds. If you want to put a black Zapote in his garden (which is quite possible), look right under the fruit tree. The trick is to know what to look for fruit: the fruit should not be overripe or immature, or the seed of it does not take root or sapling will grow but never begin to bear fruit.
