Banana Sapota

Banana Sapota, also known as Sapodilla, is a tropical fruit tree native to Mexico and Central America. It is prized for its sweet, caramel-like flavor and grainy texture. The fruit, often called “chikoo” in India, is round to oval in shape with a rough, brown skin and juicy, creamy flesh. Banana Sapota trees are evergreen and can grow up to 30 meters in height. They thrive in warm, subtropical climates with well-drained soil. In India, Banana Sapota is a popular fruit, enjoyed both fresh and in desserts like milkshakes and ice creams. Rich in vitamins and minerals, Banana Sapota is not only delicious but also nutritious, making it a valued addition to tropical fruit orchards.
