.The fruit is a large ellipsoid berry, 4-8 cm in diameter, very much resembling a smooth-skinned potato and containing 2-5 seeds. Inside, its flesh ranges from a pale yellow to an earthy brown color with a grainy texture akin to that of a well-ripened pear. The seeds are black and resemble beans, with a hook at one end that can catch in the throat if swallowed. The flavor is exceptionally sweet and very tasty, with what can be described as a malty flavor. The unripe fruit is hard to the touch and contains high amounts of saponin, which has astringent properties similar to tannin, drying out the mouth.The sapodilla trees yield fruit twice a year, though flowering may continue year round. The fruit has a high latex content and does not ripen until picked. Some are round and some are oval with pointed ends.සැපතිල්ලා ගෙඩි(Sapodillas)වෙනත් නම්(Other Names)[සංස්කරණය]සැපතිල්ලා, චීනයේ ("චිකිකෝ" හෝ "චිකු", "චිකෝ") සහ ඉන්දියාවේ sapota ලෙස හඳුන්වයි. නැගෙනහිර ඉන්දියාවේ සෝෆෙඩා සහ බංග්ලාදේශය,
