Fruit of the week: Sapote/Long Mut

Name: Sapote of Long Mut

Brand: Aroy-D

Place of Purchase: Uni-Mart Korean Foods in Ames, Iowa

Country/Region of Origin: Thailand

Price in Iowa: $1.59 for 10 oz. of fruit

Description: A cross between a yam and a skinned kiwi

Flavor: Hints of strawberry, hard apple, prunes and rose.

Aroma: strawberry and cider

Texture/Mouth-feel: Very, very fibrous. :P

Notes: I was hoping for black sapote. I was hoping for sweet, custard-like fruit that tasted like chocolate pudding and love. Instead, I got some sweet, flowery sponges. I just sucked the juice out and spit out the flesh.

Canned fruit makes me so sad.
