If you have to eat it when it’s super super ripe, I wonder how long it stays in that super, super ripe stage? Like you know, an avocado is only perfect for 7 and a half minutes after midnight on the third full moon of the year.
You’re vocabulary and way with word to describe flavour and what you’re feeling/experiencing is so so amazing ( I can’t even find the words for it hahaha) you just really succeed in explaining things. I really feel like I just ate this fruit even tho I didn’t
The fact that it doesn't taste like chocolate kind of breaks my heart, but all the more reason to add chocolate to it anyway. Maybe add it to a flourless fudge brownie mix.
It doesn't but at the same time it does. The name comes more from the texture and colour rather than taste because by manufacturing standards, the taste of chocolate is way more different than the taste of the original components. As I said it doesn't taste like store-bought chocolate because as Emmy said, it is subtle and has a flavour of it's own but it does taste as "chocolate" if you have drunk a special beverage (one of many) done in the south of my country made with Cocoa Beans. It dates back to the era before the Spanish conquest where the Mayan and Olmec cultures existed and it taste nothing like stereotypical chocolate but it is theoretically speaking a form of ancient hot chocolate beverage. In my mouth it tastes just like that and I just love it, and if you dare to try it, add a little bit of Orange juice to the fruit and it'll taste even better.
GWagner13 if you don’t mind my asking what is that chocolate beverage you mentioned? I only ask because many years ago my teacher had a chocolate drink he said came from South Africa that tasted unlike anything I have ever tasted. I’ve recently been trying to figure out what it was so I could buy some to share with my family because they never got to taste it.
@@Mad-Lad-Chad my family occasionally mixes unsweetened cocoa powder with milk and chili, it's bitter and spicy but it's wonderful, we first tried it after I watched a documentary about the Aztecs I think it was? (could be wrong it was in middle school) but we really liked it, so we've made it several times. I wonder if maybe the drink their referring to is similar?
Did you see that one cooking special that she did that was professional? Oh my gosh I was like they need to give her a television show. You are right about PBS that's where she needs to go.
Make sure to check the laws of any countries you may send seeds to. Customs typically doesn't allow the transport of fruits/seeds without proper permits to prevent invasives. (I'm sure you are probably aware but just in case I don't want you or anyone to get in any trouble!) Love the video as well as all the fruity fruits videos! I'm a big fan.
Science Fiction Double Feature That doesn’t mean it’s not invasive. We have plenty of invasive weeds, some even deemed a threat. I’ve had to call department of environmental services due to a species of invasive weed growing in our yard that is deadly to local birds.
Zapote Negro! We would get this as 'pudding' in a bowl as dessert at my grandpas place, but thankfully it wasnt untill I was 16 that I actually saw what the fruit looks like, otherwise I would have never eaten it :P Whenever I had it you would scoop out the flesh and pass it through a wire sieve into a bowl so you would really get a pudding out of it. And at my grandpa's place they would mix some orange juice into it if i remember right :)
Great point about fruit not being right to eat. My father once got me persimmons as a kid because I was like what are persimmons? I took a bite and I don't think it was ripe because it was like eating cloth. It was dry and made my mouth all puckery. I never wanted to try it again. The next time I got persimmons as an adult I was scared to try them again and looked up recipes on persimmons and found one for Persimmon bread. I made it and that was the best idea I had ever had. It was great. Next time I tried the fruit on its own and I was like okay...I obviously had a bad experience the first time as a kid. But totally agree...don't give up on a fruit you don't like.
There's different types of persimmons. The one you tried is supposed to be cooked and or so ripe it's almost mush. There are others that you can eat like an apple, they're both so sweet. Give them another try :) cheers
In mexico we eat the pulp combined with orange juice, is an old fashioned dessert, so delicious!! Also, the skin that covers every seed tastes amazing!! El Zapote Negro is a fruit kind of just for adults for it is delicate and messy jajaja.
I honestly don’t care about fruits, and I don’t know why this was in my recommended and I don’t know why I clicked and watched the whole video, but you are so passionate and knowledgeable about fruits it was a great watch!
Ashley Madison: That’s the whole idea; Emmy likes to learn and find out about foods that are new to her, and we get to learn right along with her. That’s why she describes every aspect of each new food/process/technique-so that we come as close as possible to experiencing each new one as possible, without our having to find out about, source, and ship those items all the way to us. :). What a super idea-especially for those of us who lives in the north!!!!
@@RareCandeh Oddly enough, not true. Some cocoa powders come with "milk solids", "milk powder", "butter oil", etc. Anything labeled as "pure cocoa powder", however, is vegan.
We had the white fleshed sapote delivered to a store here for a few years. The white fleshed has a different seed and tasted like sweet vanilla/honey combo. Was very strong flavor.
Funny story: My mom adores this fruit. When I was a little girl, my mom bought a bunch of these and I refused with my life to eat them or actually go near them. My mom asked me why (she knew something was on. She knew I had some interesting ideas lmao). I told her I was scared of them because they were huge black toads. In Spanish, zapote (the name of the fruit) is a homophone of sapote (big toad) :p
I never get tired of your videos! I learn something new every single time! I bet you are a great mama teaching your children all kinds of things! Bless you for posting about Kazakhstan MRE's. I was a missionary there while teaching English in the public schools in a rural town outside Dhambul, For a country 2/3 the size of the US, it is so strange that so few people have heard of it!
Hey Emmy! Here in Brazil we actually have a variety of persimmon called "caqui chocolate" (portuguese for "chocolate persimmon") which looks like a regular persimmon (red/orange-ish and crunchy), but really tastes like a "fruity" not so sweet chocolate! Anyway, I'm a new subscriber who's been enjoying the channel very much. Keep up the good work and the upbeat attitude!
Man, you could make an incredible vegan chocolate pudding with that! A flavor that isn't vegetal, smoothness like an avocado, subtle sweetness, you could blend it with chocolate and sugar to make something pretty amazing! I have quite a lot of vegetarian/vegan friends, so I wish this was a little easier to find! It would be a pretty fun experiment! Either way, as a chocolate pudding love, this made me so hungry, haha! Your videos are so wonderful and educational!
My parents would squeeze fresh orange juice and mix it with the pulp of the zapote. That’s the way the use to eat it in Mexico. I had it that way once and it was great.
Hearing how you eat persimmons was interesting. My grandfather always gets the kind you need to ripen around Christmas. Apparently, it was a tradition in Italy in the town he came from to eat persimmons around that time. And when we eat the persimmons, we treat it as though it were an apple.
there are different types of persimmons. some can be eaten while they are hard and others are best enjoyed after they've been left to ripen for a very long time
I know that. I even specified that we eat the kind that needs to be ripened. Even with how soft it is, we eat it like an apple. I was commenting on how Emmy said she eats it by pulling back the skin and eating it with a spoon. I never heard of that.
Emmy I have watched every video you've made multiple times cuz I share them all the time and I watch them with friends. I just love how educational, informative yet so interesting that you keep your videos I want to try all the fruits you've done and so far I have 2 friends who want to do it with me. I'm so excited!!
I miss these so much! They were my favorite fruit when I was very young. My grandma used to say that I would wear my sapote mask and would not let anyone wipe it off! 😂🤦🏽♀️
i like how accurate your description to things are ! its kind of rare to see youtubers specially in the food industry of food video's describing the taste of the food to us but your doing really good cuz i tasted some of the food that your reviewing myself ! good job keep on going peace and love
I recently found a persimmon tree on my property (hidden in the woods). Just out of curiosity I licked one that was not ripe and regretted that decision FULLY for about 1/2 an hour LOL. I felt like every drop of moisture in my mouth had been dried right up. SO BAD LOL!
I made that mistake at work when someone brought a big ol’ bag from their tree. I said “ooh! Fruit!” and took a big ol’ soapy bite. I actually felt my throat closing!
Try persimmon cookies topped with icing made of powdered sugar, cake spice, vanilla extract and just enough milk for thinning to desired texture! Persimmon pulp keeps for a long time frozen in bags. These may just become the official Creepsville Cookies!
As I'm researching what tropical fruit trees to plant at my home, I love to visit your channel to see if you have a video on the fruit that I've been interested. Your reviews definitely help me choose what I will plant and thank you madam!
Few things are better than living vicariously through your taste buds. If you make the bread with the black sapote substitute, it'd be great to see the final product and hear your thoughts!
Emy mix they flesh of a black zapote and mix it with orange juice (natural) place it in the fridge for a couple of hours and you will have an amazing desert
I would LOVE a seed giveaway! I work in a food wholesale and I enjoy learning about food I didn't know before. And I am so jealous that you get to taste so many different fruits I've never tasted... This is my favorite series on TH-cam ❤️
When you finish your box of fruit, I have a suggestion: the blackberry jam fruit! I saw the plants advertised for sale online, but I live in a cold area, so I don't think I'd be able to grow them. They look good and supposedly taste good. They are small and yellow with a black interior. Thank you for sharing your fruity adventures with us!
If you mean the yellow mango, mangos imported from Mexico and other tropical countries tastes the same as the Philippine mango. They are readily available in the states.
Yummm I never liked black sapote growing up but as I got older the memories had me craving it, and although the black sapote wasn't something I would recommend to everyone another type of sapote I do recommend you try is sapote Mamey. The flavor is amazing. I would eat so much growing up both plain and in milkshakes. It has a bunch of good vitamins.
cegfam my dad is from Cuba and he LOVES mamey!! In summer he likes buying mamey paletas ( Mexican popsicles), the creamy ones. I am not a fan but he loves them!! ^^ Mamey always reminds me of my dear dad
Zapote milkshake is so good! I find it similar to Nispero Milkshake but a with a slight different after taste. They're both so delicious and nostalgic for me!
Not a fan of mamey, I find the flavor to be quite strong and overpowering. Oddly enough, I find the fuyu persimmon to be a toned down/mild flavor of mamey and I love it!
My mom used to give me Black Sapote when I was a toddler and lived in Mexico. We were so poor but things like this were everything. When we moved to the US we weren’t able to eat it anymore because they don’t sale it here and I as far as I know, and I didn’t know what it was called but I never forgot the look and flavor of it and I’ve been dying to eat one again. Now that I know the name I’m going to get some when I visit Mexico 🇲🇽 again. Thank you Emmy you don’t know what this mean to me! The memories of being so poor yet so happy when we ate these and my mom so nurturing 💕
We had a cow and a black sapote tree wonderful combination, scoop cream off the top of the milk, beat till you have thickened cream then fold in the pulp of your ripe fruit, one fruit serves 4 for desert. yummy. Notice the top leaves have lifted away from the fruit, this also indicates ripe.
My husband loves that double chocolate banana bread recipe. I don’t like chocolate that much so we have to fight over the over ripe bananas. I like my banana bread traditional, with black walnuts.
Thank you for this video. I've been intrigued by this fruit for years and have only just managed to find a source (although it isn't yet in season). I very much appreciate your vocabulary and descriptive ability. Many food reviewers provide me little of substance to go on, but your description was the next best thing to a first hand experience.
I love how familiar you are with other food bloggers and channels. Smitten Kitchen was one of my favorites way back and was my go-to for recipes from scratch.
Omg thank you for making this vid. I read about this fruit like two years ago but haven’t been able to find much on it and I’ve been weirdly curious about it. Great vid, as always. I really like that you always include additional information in your vids.
Black sapote tastes a lot like mild Belgian milk chocolate pudding to me, the kind that used to come with a cream layer on top. It's by far one of my favorite indulgences, but it's $40 for 4 fruits so it's pretty expensive.
Back in my day, we were able to pick them up off of our Sapote tree outside of the family cottage. My mother made a wonderful pie or tarts of these, they were delightful! Brings back light, wonderful memories of my youthful day. ❤️
Love “exotic” fruit. I always grew up with my mom buying all kinds of fruit so i never really thought of some of the fruit I loved as a kid to be a lesser known fruit. This one reminds me of how an avocado ripens... i want to find one and eat it soo bad!!
The fruit is used a lot in Puerto Rico for ice cream, shakes and smoothies mainly. I have seen it in flan, pancakes, pudding (cornstarch, milk, spices) in Puerto Rico. My grandmother who is Puerto Rican would make it into a paste and eat it with cheese once it hardened.
Have you tried Cherimoya? It's the most delicious fruit I have ever tasted! It's another one of those "perfect when overripe" fruits, with a custardy consistency and tastes like everything good rolled into one. Highly recommended!
Me too! I just tasted a piece of one that I thought was ripe for the first time and I really thought I was going to die. It was terrible! Now I'm seeing what it looks like when it ripe. I don't think I will try this again even its ripe. I'll stick to fruits I already know.
I want to know do you have any culinary school experience or restaurant experience cause your an encyclopedia of knowledge. Thank you for all your vids me and my wife enjoy all your vids. Stay blessed and humble
I'm so glad you explained about persimmons. I didn't realize there were two varieties and have been confused. Remembering one taste from my childhood & then buying one now - sometimes they "works" and other times they're inedible. I couldn't figure out how I was getting it wrong - it's just fruit, right? It's like twin fruits playing a practical joke on me.
I've had it in Florida and Australia, and it's very interesting and sweet. I think some people say it tastes like chocolate because it looks and feels like it should taste like chocolate so it's a trick of the mind. I liked the mamey sapote more though, I thought one of your mystery fruits might have been one, but I could be wrong.
Was watching in awe. I suppose Malaysia do not have this fruit at all. Its so interesting. And i just love the way Emmy described the fruit & its taste. Thank you! So much! Just love watching ur videos. Much love 💕❤️
Emmy I love your description of what things taste like. You are brilliant and funny. I love watching your videos. Was hoping this tasted like chocolate pudding. Hehe
I love ur Channel+ so informational and your voice is actually ver comforting which makes it easy to listen and learn about what you presenting to us! Thankyou! ❤
My grandfathers ranch is called The Sapote and when I was a kid I used to eat those everytime, when they ripen even more they get a grainy texture. Love you Emmy! 🖤
Given its texture and lack of flavor, it might be an interesting addition to a chocolate cake. It would probably work a lot like the mayo in that one recipe, but adding a little bit of sweetness as well. Puffer fish!
I like squishing squishy things. 👇

The fact that it doesn't taste like chocolate kind of breaks my heart, but all the more reason to add chocolate to it anyway. Maybe add it to a flourless fudge brownie mix.
I was excited to hear Emmy taste it because I knew she would actually be accurate.
It doesn't but at the same time it does. The name comes more from the texture and colour rather than taste because by manufacturing standards, the taste of chocolate is way more different than the taste of the original components. As I said it doesn't taste like store-bought chocolate because as Emmy said, it is subtle and has a flavour of it's own but it does taste as "chocolate" if you have drunk a special beverage (one of many) done in the south of my country made with Cocoa Beans. It dates back to the era before the Spanish conquest where the Mayan and Olmec cultures existed and it taste nothing like stereotypical chocolate but it is theoretically speaking a form of ancient hot chocolate beverage. In my mouth it tastes just like that and I just love it, and if you dare to try it, add a little bit of Orange juice to the fruit and it'll taste even better.
GWagner13 if you don’t mind my asking what is that chocolate beverage you mentioned?

When you finish your box of fruit, I have a suggestion: the blackberry jam fruit! I saw the plants advertised for sale online, but I live in a cold area, so I don't think I'd be able to grow them. They look good and supposedly taste good. They are small and yellow with a black interior.
Thank you for sharing your fruity adventures with us!
It’s been a while since I heard that fruity fruit!
You should have some Philippine mango.
I’d like some Philippine Mango...
You should :) It has a distinct taste and it’s magnificently sweet.
Philippine mangos are just like biting into sunshine!
Winkie Man That’s a better way to put it!
If you mean the yellow mango, mangos imported from Mexico and other tropical countries tastes the same as the Philippine mango. They are readily available in the states.
You making fruity fruit episodes again makes me so happy! It's how I came across your channel so many years ago! Love this channel!
Yummm I never liked black sapote growing up but as I got older the memories had me craving it, and although the black sapote wasn't something I would recommend to everyone another type of sapote I do recommend you try is sapote Mamey. The flavor is amazing. I would eat so much growing up both plain and in milkshakes.
It has a bunch of good vitamins.
cegfam my dad is from Cuba and he LOVES mamey!! In summer he likes buying mamey paletas ( Mexican popsicles), the creamy ones. I am not a fan but he loves them!! ^^ Mamey always reminds me of my dear dad
Zapote milkshake is so good! I find it similar to Nispero Milkshake but a with a slight different after taste. They're both so delicious and nostalgic for me!
@@wrinkleintime4257 definitely nostalgic. Mamey paletas are good too, I drive 4 hours here in Washington to get them every summer.
@@vickst0892 I haven't been able to find a similar taste but I do know that they have alot of good vitamins for you.
Not a fan of mamey, I find the flavor to be quite strong and overpowering. Oddly enough, I find the fuyu persimmon to be a toned down/mild flavor of mamey and I love it!
you have the most calming voice ever ever
I wanna see you make that banana bread/sapote recipe! it sounds divine
In Mexico we take it with orange juice. You mix it with it, super cold and it tastes awesome
Who else loves getting notified when Emmys video is up and ready to watch !! Love you Emmy ! Your my favorite channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️
same ❤❤
Best part of the week is when Emmys videos come out
I love the intro 🤣
Hugs to you! ❤️

My mom used to give me Black Sapote when I was a toddler and lived in Mexico. We were so poor but things like this were everything. When we moved to the US we weren’t able to eat it anymore because they don’t sale it here and I as far as I know, and I didn’t know what it was called but I never forgot the look and flavor of it and I’ve been dying to eat one again. Now that I know the name I’m going to get some when I visit Mexico 🇲🇽 again. Thank you Emmy you don’t know what this mean to me! The memories of being so poor yet so happy when we ate these and my mom so nurturing 💕
My mom told me she's tried one before and she said it is good.
We had a cow and a black sapote tree wonderful combination, scoop cream off the top of the milk, beat till you have thickened cream then fold in the pulp of your ripe fruit, one fruit serves 4 for desert. yummy. Notice the top leaves have lifted away from the fruit, this also indicates ripe.
My husband loves that double chocolate banana bread recipe. I don’t like chocolate that much so we have to fight over the over ripe bananas. I like my banana bread traditional, with black walnuts.
Deb's recipe is SO good. 🤤
Yaaaaas!! 😂
Awww, I was hoping it'd taste like chocolate~ :3 hehe
Me too. 😉
I think everyone was
They do, though. They need to be really ripe, black skin and squashed in.
@@martinn.6082 so rotten
@@dawsoncarpenter2244 they don't taste or smell rotten. They just look it.
In Mexico we eat it with orange juice.
amrs54 That’s so interesting! How do those two taste together?
@@mariaalejandragarcia1295 delicious! Fresh and sweet
@@mariaalejandragarcia1295 Delicious! A little citrus acidity to the sweet pulpy sapote goes vey well.
@@amrs54 Do you just splash some orange juice on the fruit, mix it together, or just drink orange juice with it?
Black sapote and orange juice is good for cleanse your body.
Thank you for this video. I've been intrigued by this fruit for years and have only just managed to find a source (although it isn't yet in season). I very much appreciate your vocabulary and descriptive ability. Many food reviewers provide me little of substance to go on, but your description was the next best thing to a first hand experience.
I love how familiar you are with other food bloggers and channels. Smitten Kitchen was one of my favorites way back and was my go-to for recipes from scratch.
Omg thank you for making this vid. I read about this fruit like two years ago but haven’t been able to find much on it and I’ve been weirdly curious about it. Great vid, as always. I really like that you always include additional information in your vids.
Black sapote tastes a lot like mild Belgian milk chocolate pudding to me, the kind that used to come with a cream layer on top. It's by far one of my favorite indulgences, but it's $40 for 4 fruits so it's pretty expensive.
Emmy, you do a wonderful job in describing the texture and taste. It like I can almost experience the foods. Love your videos!
I wonder if you could make a pie out of this in the same way you would a pumpkin.
You could, but its flavor is so light, you should taste it alone to get it
Your mind 👩🍳👌
You would have to experiment with seasonings to bring the flavor out.
Back in my day, we were able to pick them up off of our Sapote tree outside of the family cottage. My mother made a wonderful pie or tarts of these, they were delightful! Brings back light, wonderful memories of my youthful day. ❤️
I always wait for you to spit something out but you never do! Even if you don't like it, you're so polite about it! 😍
why is your voice so relaxing? omg. first time watching and enjoying it. also recommend that you make an audiobook of fruits. lol.
Love “exotic” fruit. I always grew up with my mom buying all kinds of fruit so i never really thought of some of the fruit I loved as a kid to be a lesser known fruit. This one reminds me of how an avocado ripens... i want to find one and eat it soo bad!!
I love that you're giving away the seeds, that's really really cool, it gives other people an opportunity to try something new too!
The bread idea sounds like a good video idea!
The fruit is used a lot in Puerto Rico for ice cream, shakes and smoothies mainly. I have seen it in flan, pancakes, pudding (cornstarch, milk, spices) in Puerto Rico. My grandmother who is Puerto Rican would make it into a paste and eat it with cheese once it hardened.
I would love to see someone try and grow this 80ft+ black sapote tree in their HOUSE 😂😂
I could listen to your voice all day. Not trying to be weird at all! But you have such a soothing voice!! ☺️☺️☺️
My parents said in there home town they made popsicles with it. My moms mouth watered when I asked her about the fruit.
Have you tried Cherimoya? It's the most delicious fruit I have ever tasted! It's another one of those "perfect when overripe" fruits, with a custardy consistency and tastes like everything good rolled into one. Highly recommended!
i ate the latter persimmon when it wasnt ripe, i thought i was going to die. it was so bitter but i went for seconds
🤣🥰
Me too! I just tasted a piece of one that I thought was ripe for the first time and I really thought I was going to die. It was terrible! Now I'm seeing what it looks like when it ripe. I don't think I will try this again even its ripe. I'll stick to fruits I already know.
It tastes like i ate poison. It really feels caustic when unripe. I hope I'll be ok😐
great video! I used to watch your channel when i was younger and i just started again and its great - keep up the amazing work!!
I want to know do you have any culinary school experience or restaurant experience cause your an encyclopedia of knowledge. Thank you for all your vids me and my wife enjoy all your vids. Stay blessed and humble
I'm so glad you explained about persimmons. I didn't realize there were two varieties and have been confused. Remembering one taste from my childhood & then buying one now - sometimes they "works" and other times they're inedible. I couldn't figure out how I was getting it wrong - it's just fruit, right? It's like twin fruits playing a practical joke on me.
I've had it in Florida and Australia, and it's very interesting and sweet. I think some people say it tastes like chocolate because it looks and feels like it should taste like chocolate so it's a trick of the mind. I liked the mamey sapote more though, I thought one of your mystery fruits might have been one, but I could be wrong.
I think it was a chico sapote (AKA sapodilla), not a mamey sapote.
Interesting input :) thank you for feedback
I think the sapote taste like a cross between dates and maple syrup with a hint of chocolate.
I loveee and appreciate her description and thought she gives of every fruit
Great video Emmy I enjoyed it. It looked just like chocolate pudding. Very different from western fruit.
You are one heck of a wordsmith! I just heard about these and had to find out what they taste like and your review was the next best thing!
i emmy! loved you for years! keep having fun!
Was watching in awe. I suppose Malaysia do not have this fruit at all. Its so interesting. And i just love the way Emmy described the fruit & its taste. Thank you! So much! Just love watching ur videos. Much love 💕❤️
i love how i always also learn something while watching emmy❤ that's the best part
Emmy I love your description of what things taste like. You are brilliant and funny. I love watching your videos. Was hoping this tasted like chocolate pudding. Hehe
Not gonna lie that cross section in the thumbnail looked something out of an Alien movie
Emaline L. That's what made me click!!! (And Emma!)
I love ur Channel+ so informational and your voice is actually ver comforting which makes it easy to listen and learn about what you presenting to us! Thankyou! ❤
Emmy. You should totally make that black sapote bread.
My grandfathers ranch is called The Sapote and when I was a kid I used to eat those everytime, when they ripen even more they get a grainy texture.
Love you Emmy! 🖤
Oh man! If you still have some seeds, I'd LOVE to get my paws on one. I've always wanted to try it, and I LOVE growing tropical plants (in Oregon) lol
I love the way that you speak. Your tone, vocabulary, etc. wow
Given its texture and lack of flavor, it might be an interesting addition to a chocolate cake. It would probably work a lot like the mayo in that one recipe, but adding a little bit of sweetness as well. Puffer fish!
i truly TRULY enjoy watching your videos!! Makes me happy
I never tire of that intro song.
Seriously!
I greatly appreciate the variety of adjectives you use.
I’m mega interested in this “seed giveaway”! I loooove growing and propagating plants of all kinds! I want fancy seeds... 👉🏻🌱👈🏻
I absolutely LOVE your descriptions! 🧡🧡
