Mamey Fruit is absolutely delicious! We call it Mamey, but it's also called sapote, not to be confused with black sapote, which is a different type of fruit altogether. They are so yummy that it's hard to eat just one.
We had so many requests for Mamey from people thatmamey shake want to order it online that we had to create a box just for it! These red mamey fruits are from right here in Florida and are humongous!
Mamey sapote is a medium to large fruit with a thick, semi-rough skin that ranges in color from light to dark brown. Underneath the skin, the flesh is soft, creamy, and dense with a fine, smooth consistency. The flesh of Mamey sapote ranges in color from orange, and red, to salmon. Within the center of the flesh, there is one elliptical seed with a glossy, black-brown hue. Don't eat the seed!
What does mamey taste like?
The flavor of is like a cross between a pumpkin and a sweet potato, with hints of caramel and chocolate. It's truly unlike anything else you've ever tasted!
Order a box, have a nice mamey shake, or just eat them with a spoon and if you have a couple left, take the pulp out with a spoon, put them in a freezer bag, and you'll have mamey for a few more times! We love to make shakes that are so good that you'll always want more, they are good like that.
A quick mamey sapote shake recipe
To make an awesome mamey shake, wait for it to be fully ripened when the skin is soft to the touch. Scoop out the pulp of half the fruit with a spoon into a blender, add two cups of regular milk and if you want to be extra, add half a can of evaporated milk. Sugar to taste, add some ice, blend it and you have yourself a tropical treat!

We have Sapodilla! After a crazy season, we were able to get our hands on a small batch of the ever-popular Sapodilla, also called Nispero, Chico Fruit, Zapote, Zapotillo, and Tree Potato, which curiously, tastes nothing like a potato. As a matter of fact, comparing this fruit to a potato is our new apples and oranges. So, from now on, to show that you are an Exotic fruit connoisseur, you'll say while slightly elevating your nose, it's like Sapodillas and Potatoes. People might look at you funny but Tropifruiters and the Fruitarians are going to revere you, but I digress...
What does it taste like? This is definitely a dessert fruit, it's very sweet and has oaky, light molasses notes, and the flavor of brown sugar and roasted sweet potato. You can just chill it and eat it with a spoon, it's that good!
The Sapodilla is a close cousin of the Mamey Sapote, Canistel, and Caimito, also known as Star Apple. Some of our very favorites. This is a very special fruit, the skin is light brown and the flesh has a beautiful golden brownish caramel color that reminds me of the sands of the Sahara.
You know it's ripe when it's starting to soften and gives slightly to the touch. You know, it feels soft without being overly soft. When it's ready, pounce! You don't want to let this one pass you by. Life is too short.
The small box contains 3 lbs, Regular box contains 5 pounds of Sapodilla and the large box has 8 pounds.
**Sorry California not allowed into your state.**
Let’s face it, Eggfruit, also known as Canistel or Yellow Sapote is absolutely delightful. When you cut it open, you discover the absolutely beautiful yellow color which takes you by surprise.
The flavor is very strong, sweet, and definitely rich with eggnog and pumpkin pie notes. The texture is firm, similar to a hard-boiled egg yolk but with a hearty, creamy, and smooth texture. Definitely a treat for our Tropifruiters.
**Unfortunately, Eggfruit cannot ship to California due to import restrictions**
You won’t believe what fell into our lap! A small batch of local black sapote, also called black soap apple, the sumptuous chocolate pudding fruit that our Tropifruiters have been clamoring for. This is just the type of fruit that you get to brag about on your Instagram or YouTube channel. It’s that wow of an experience.
It’s a close cousin of the persimmon and has an amazing flavor profile. Whenever you think the black sapote is ready to be thrown away, it’s actually when it’s ready. Why do we say that? When its ripe, it gets really wrinkly and the skin starts to look like a Chinese Shar-Pei dog (you know, the ones with the wrinkly skin) and when ready, the skin turns into a brownish and olive-green color. When you cut it, the flesh is a dark brown chocolatey color that feels like you just cut into a fresh chocolate lava cake.
The texture is custard-like and incredibly smooth. It has a sweet subtle flavor, with a hint of roasted butternut squash and a honey finish, creating a delightful tasting experience that’s just incredibly hard to replicate.
The Sapote family is a unique group of tropical fruits celebrated for their remarkably creamy, dessert-like textures. While they vary in color and flavor, ranging from earthy sweetness to rich caramel, they all share a dense, custardy consistency that sets them apart from typical juicy fruits.
In this collection, you can experience the versatile Mamey Sapote, known for its vibrant salmon-colored flesh and a flavor reminiscent of sweet potato, pumpkin, and honey. For those who love the taste of brown sugar, ourFresh Sapodilla (Nispero) offers a malty, pear-like grit with a deep caramel finish.
If you are looking for something truly unique, theEggfruit (Canistel/Yellow Sapote) features a rich, bright yellow interior with the texture of a thick cheesecake or a hard-boiled egg yolk. Finally, no collection is complete without theBlack Sapote. Often called the "Chocolate Pudding Fruit," its dark, silky flesh is the perfect healthy alternative for satisfying a sweet tooth. Each fruit is hand-sorted and tested to meet our industry-leading standards for size and ripeness. We ship your order at the optimal stage, so your sapote fruits arrive ready to ripen on your counter or to be enjoyed immediately.
