Sapodilla
Sapodilla, or "Lamut" in Thai, is a unique tropical fruit often described as having the flavor of "pear soaked in brown sugar." With its humble, potato-like exterior, it hides a rich, amber-colored interior that is intensely sweet and aromatic. It is a favorite among those who love deep, caramel-like flavors.
Season: Peaks during the transition from winter to summer (September to December and again in March to May).
Flavor & Texture: Exceptionally sweet, reminiscent of caramel, malt, and honey. The texture is soft and slightly grainy (malic), similar to a ripe pear but much smoother and denser.
Primary uses:
Fresh Snacking: Best eaten when fully soft. Simply peel the thin skin and enjoy the rich, sugary flesh.
Dessert Topping: Sliced and served with yogurt, pancakes, or in fruit tarts for a natural sweetness.
Smoothies: Blends beautifully with milk or coconut milk to create a rich, malty milkshake.
Benefits:
High Energy: Packed with natural fructose and sucrose, providing an immediate energy boost.
Digestive Health: Rich in dietary tannins and fiber, which act as a natural anti-inflammatory for the digestive tract.
Bone Health: Contains calcium, phosphorus, and iron, essential for maintaining strong bones.
Rich in Antioxidants: Helps protect the body against free radicals and boosts overall immunity.
