The sapodilla, or brown sugar fruit as it's also named, is a deliciously sweet fruit that has a texture similar to a pear and a unique sugary flavour. The taste shares similarities with brown sugar, caramel and molasses.

The sapodilla fruit is widely distributed so can be found in fruit markets across South and Southeast Asia, South America and The Caribbean.

As well as being simply enjoyed out of hand, the sapodilla are also often used in fruit shakes by mixing with milk, a touch of condensed milk and ice.
