Some varieties have a slightly gritty texture.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"subhead\">Buying\/serving<\/span>: Ripe sapodillas have brown skin and give slightly when pressed. Unripe fruits are hard and unpleasantly astringent, with a smooth greenish skin under the brown exterior. Rubbing will reveal the colour of the skin. They exude a sticky sap if cut before they are fully ripe. Unripe fruit will ripen at room temperature. Sapodillas can be stored in the refrigerator, frozen or dried.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"subhead\">Preparing\/serving: <\/span>Sapodillas can be eaten fresh by simply cutting them in half, scooping out the flesh and removing the seeds. A squeeze of lime or lemon will enhance the flavour. The flesh can be mashed and stirred into cream or custard or made into ice-cream and mousses. It can also be added to cake and pancake mix. Excellent when dried.<\/p>\n<p>The skin can also be eaten.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"subhead\">Variety: <\/span>Wide range of selections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAPODILLA Manilkara zapota Other names: Zapote Chico, Chiku.
