What to know about zapote

Zapote is a name rather than a fruit, and untangling it is the most useful thing this page can do. In Mexico and Central America the word covers several unrelated species: mamey sapote, dense and orange fleshed; black sapote, the so called chocolate pudding fruit; white sapote, which is not a sapote at all but a citrus relative; and sapodilla, which has its own page here. They belong to four different plant families and behave differently, so a reaction to one tells you very little about another, and this row cannot distinguish between them.

Watch for

  • Identify which fruit you actually ate before logging anything.Mamey sapote is Sapotaceae, black sapote is Ebenaceae and related to persimmon, white sapote is Rutaceae and a citrus relative, and sapodilla is a fourth thing again. These are not varieties of one fruit.
  • White sapote has a documented reputation for sedative and drowsiness inducing effects, and it is the one member of this group where that has been consistently reported.If you feel unusually sleepy after a sapote, that is the species to suspect.
  • Seeds should not be eaten in any of them.Mamey sapote seed in particular contains compounds that make it unsuitable for consumption, and the seeds are large and easy to avoid.
  • Black sapote is genuinely unpleasant and astringent until fully ripe, at which point the flesh turns almost black and pudding soft.Underripe fruit is a tannin problem rather than just a flavour disappointment.
  • Every FODMAP column on this row is unrated, and the grades it does carry are shared byte for byte with a block of unrelated entries in the alphabetical tail of the dataset.Treat this row as untested.
