Re: White sapote

Taste is a funny thing, Marge. I get no hint of mint. More like a combination of banana and peach, with the sensation of "melting" in one's mouth.

Interesting, Jim.  Never heard of it so did a Google image search.
Looks yummy, but the page with the image I found said it had a minty
flavor.  Does it?  If so, think I shall pass as mint makes me gag:-)
Nice tree, tho' - several images of that came up as well.  Site said
the seeds were toxic but were roasted for medicinal use.

Just had my first taste of the white sapote [Casimiroa edulis].

Yum,

yum. I want one of these trees, so I saved the seeds [two] from the



tasting and will plant them in pots this weekend. This is really a
wonderful Mexican fruit. If you want to try it, you may find it in



your



local bodega--tis the season!
Also, if you do find it, don't eat the skin or seeds--give you the
trots big time. But I guarantee you that the flesh of the fruit



will



replace apricots on the top ten list one of these days.
