This fruit has a malty flavor. It is often known as the brown sugar fruit for its sweet brown, soft or grainy flesh. It should be eaten when it turns soft. Cut the fruit into two equal halves, then scoop the flesh using a spoon and discard the seeds. Sapodilla is a great source of fiber and vitamin C.
Miami, FL
Nearly a decade ago, Miami began selling fruit at local farmers' markets, initially using a bicycle to pick up produce from nearby farms. As demand grew, Miami Fruit expanded, transitioning to car and van transport.
By 2016, prompted by requests from Facebook friends nationwide, Miami teamed up with partner Edelle Schlegel to establish Miami Fruit officially. Today, they collaborate with numerous local growers and operate their own seven-acre farm. The fruit they source usually ships the day after it’s picked, and it’s oftentimes fruit that simply can’t be found outside of the Tropics.
