Chico Sapodilla is a sweet, nutrient-rich tropical fruit that tastes like brown sugar or caramel! It has a soft, buttery, slightly gritty texture (like a pear). To eat it, scoop the flesh from the skin and enjoy fresh, blended into smoothies or milkshakes, or used in ice cream, sorbets, pies, and jams! It can also be used in recipes as a sweetener substitute.
Chico fruit is packed with Fiber, Vitamins C & A, Potassium, Iron, Copper, and Calcium. It has a high sugar content which can offer a quick energy boost, while its high fiber content can aid digestion, help with constipation, and reduce acid reflux. It contains antioxidants and polyphenols that protect cells from damage, and could potentially slow aging! It has even been shown to alleviate nausea, fatigue, and dizziness during pregnancy.
