The tropical fruit chikoo belongs to the Sapotaceae family. It is a grainy grey-brown pulpy fruit with a sweet taste and a gritty texture. When unripe, the fruit is hard and produces saponin, but as it ripens, it softens. Chiku (Sapodilla) grows on evergreen trees that can only thrive in hot or warm areas. Flowering occurs throughout the year; however, fruit production occurs just twice a year.
