noun
-
The soft, edible fruit of various South American trees, including the sapodilla.
“Besides, the theater gives him a rush that can only be equaled by, perhaps, the healthy fruiting of a white sapote.”
“So there are black and white sapotes (no relation), mamey and chiku sapotes (same family). Black sapotes are not the only sapotes – but I reckon Jeannette Winterson would heartily agree there should be a place for one in your fruit bowl. Black sapote can be used very successfully in place of bananas when baking.”
