A name for sapote. This is actually a different fruit from the black sapote, but black sapote is very often called sapote. The fruits of the sapote may be eaten raw and they are used for making ice creams and preserves as well as for flavouring sauces and in confectionary. In some parts of Mesoamerica, ground sapote seeds are used to give chocolate a bitter flavour.
