We saw sapote fruits first time in Mexico. The sapote tree is nice, robust and tall, but it looks obvious that it doesn't like cold. It's really a tropical plant. We found some fruits along the way but they were unripe and hard. The fruits that fall from the trees are quickly swiped by animals.
In Belize we carried two unripe sapote fruits for three days in our backpacks. When it finally softened, we tried it. Under the skin (that looks like a hardened human skin) there's an orange-red flesh and a huge black stone. It's juicy and pulpy, faintly sweet with a scent of cinnamon. Not bad and it yields high.
There's at least a dozen different types of sapotes, the one you see on the picture is, hmm, well, one of them...
