Black sapote is tomato-like, skin turns from olive to a deep yellow-green when ripe and a pulp which is white and inedible when unripe but assumes a flavour, colour, and texture often likened to chocolate pudding when ripe. The ripe fruit has "the flavour and consistency of chocolate pudding," according to the description. The flavour of black sapote fruit is velvety, enticing, sweet, and custardy, not unlike chocolate.

The fruit offers a wealth of nutritional and physiological advantages. It supplies your body with the necessary quantity of vitamin C to maintain its health. The body's immune system is bolstered by vitamin C's role in battling pathogenic germs and viruses. The fruit's antioxidants aid in the body's defence against the harm caused by free radicals and shield it from chronic conditions like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. It contains vitamin A in its natural state, which helps the body's healthy cell division and enhances human vision.
