Sapodilla is actually a large berry that ranges in color from a pale yellow to a light, earthy brown and has a grainy texture to its skin, similar to kiwi, with anywhere from one to six hard, black seeds on the inside. Also called chikoo, naseberry, níspero and sapota among other names, sapodilla has a sweet and malty flavor like that of caramelized pear.
