Mamey Sapote: A Delicious Central American Fruit
The mamey sapote has a mildly sweet and earthy taste with a fragrant aroma. I would describe them as being reminiscent of sweet potato with a moist and fairly fibrous flesh. In fact the color is almost exactly like a sweet potato and they are both a rich source of beta carotene. They are much higher in protein than most fruits and are contribute significant amounts of niacin and potassium.
