When is the sapodilla ripe and when to pick it?

1. What is cooked?

Unripe fruits will taste astringent. To judge whether the fruit is ripe, you can pinch it with your hands. If you feel that it has become soft, it is ripe and you can directly remove the skin and eat it. It will taste sweeter and can also supplement calcium. If it does not feel soft and is still relatively hard, it cannot be eaten and needs to be ripened. You can put it in a rice jar, or you can put it together with apples and wrap it in a plastic bag. Sprinkle some water inside and leave it for a few days until it feels soft and you can eat it.

2. When to pick

It can bloom several times a year and bear fruit many times, so there are multiple harvest periods in a year. But it usually matures around the end of September or the beginning of October. This is the time for large-scale picking. The unripe fruits are left on the trees and picked after they are fully ripe, otherwise the quality will deteriorate. When picking, please note that the skin of the fruit is thin and will be damaged if you are not careful, so pick it slowly and be careful during transportation.
