RE: Food garden tour: Autumn update ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ˜

It's a tropical fruit, a lot can be found in the Philippines. I just read it's also called a sapodilla fruit.

The answer to, โ€œWhat is sapodilla fruit?โ€ is quite simply a delicious tropical fruit ranking amongst the likes of mango, banana, and jackfruit. Sapodilla answers to quite a few monikers such as Chico, Chico sapote, Sapota, Zapote chico, Zapotillo, Chicle, Sapodilla plum and Naseberry. You may recognize the name โ€˜Chicle,โ€™ which refers to the latex excreted by the sapodilla fruit and is used as a chewing gum base.
