The fruit is locally called "Chikoo" in South East Asia. In English, it is Sapodilla. Very sweet when ripe.

Canistel, a similar experience. Yellow jaboticaba wasnt bad, worth growing as it isnt a huge tree. think I still prefer black though. I bought home some white sapote, big round sapodilla and lindA avocadoes. All of which will need to ripen :)

Canistel are best in smoothies. Very few good out of hand. Mamey are similarly great in a smoothy, but a few are great out of hand, but many are gritty. Yellow jaboticaba is very tasty but has very little flesh - one day M. stigipes and M. guaquiea should replace the M. glozoviana we have here currently. Sapodilla can also be terribly gritty if you don't get a good cultivar. Which is why Daleys is such a great resource, so we can grow the superior types in our home gardens.

Never met a canistel I liked...don't like the flavour or its par-boiled albumin consistency.

Aaaah, lucky you Gimme. A few more days later and I could have had Mamey Sap. too. :( Sounds like you had some under-ripe fruit though - some are a bit grainy, but texture generally should be similar to a baked, dense-type pumpkin. Flavours a bit variable, but a bit like mildly spiced pumpkin-pie. Yummiest I've had though had a Marzipan like favour. Definitely shouldn't be chalky. Some Canistel can be thick and dry (smoothy material), but the best are actually quite moist and good for eating out of hand (I've just had one for brekkie - yum). Don't be tempted to eat your Sapodillas before ripeness either, or similar experience to eating an astrigent Persimmon. :P

???Albumin. Albumin = egg white

Not as soft as you would imagine. As soon as as butter knife goes through it easily you are about good too go. Leaving it to go really soft compromises the flavour pretty quickly.
