Customer Reviews
I was eager to get some white Sapote after trying some in Hawaii and this order exceeded my expectations. The fruits were huge! And packed very safely. Within a week or so a few were ripe enough to open. They taste like vanilla custard with a bit of melon and banana. The texture is really something else. Super creamy, sweet, almost melts in your mouth. I usually peeled the skin off because it can be bitter but sometimes I just ate it because the fruit is so good. The seeds are easy not too big so you get a lot of fruit out of these. I froze a few and they make a delicious sorbet.
