What to know about sapodilla
Sapodilla is the brown, rough skinned tropical fruit whose ripe flesh tastes startlingly like brown sugar or malt, which is why it is sometimes sold as the pear that tastes of caramel. The tree is also the original source of chicle, the latex once used to make chewing gum, and that latex is the key to the fruit as well: an underripe sapodilla is full of it, along with heavy tannins, and eating one is an unpleasant and genuinely astringent experience rather than merely a disappointing one.
Watch for
- Ripeness is not optional here.Unripe sapodilla is loaded with latex and tannins, tastes fiercely astringent and can upset the stomach. A ripe one yields to gentle pressure like a ripe avocado and the skin scratches to reveal brown, not green, flesh underneath.
- The tree produces chicle latex, and latex fruit cross reactivity is a recognised syndrome.People with latex allergy who react to banana, avocado, kiwi or chestnut should introduce sapodilla cautiously.
- Every FODMAP column is unrated rather than clean.The ripe fruit is notably sweet, so an untested column here is a genuine gap rather than a formality.
- Graded moderate on salicylate and SIBO fermentation, with mild marks for oxalate, nickel, glutamate and histamine liberation.
- The seeds have a small hook at one end and should not be swallowed.They are easy to spot and easy to remove.
