Black Sapote (Diospyros digyna), also called Chocolate Pudding Fruit, is a tropical evergreen fruit tree loved for its round green fruits with soft, dark brown pulp that tastes like mild chocolate pudding when fully ripe. It thrives in full sun with rich, well-drained soil and regular watering, and benefits from light pruning to maintain shape and airflow. The fruit is eaten fresh, blended into smoothies or desserts, and is valued in food forests as a unique, nutritious treat—though unripe fruit is very astringent and should only be eaten fully soft and mature.
