The chocolate-like tropical fruit that went viral on Tiktok

Does it really have the sweet and adored taste of chocolate?

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been seeing various videos on TikTok of people trying a green tropical fruitwith the name “black shoe”which you hear tastes similar or even the same as pudding chocolate and many remain excited and encourage other people to try it.

Blackcurrant is an exotic, tropical fruit that is native to Central America. It’s getting a lot of attention on social media because it’s a healthy version of chocolate pudding. But is this an accurate description of this food?

Black sap has a very mild, slightly sweet flavor with a nutty, pumpkin-like flavor. Its texture is smooth and very pudding-like. Unlike many other soft fruits that have a grainy or mushy texture, this fruit offers a smooth and custard-like texture. It has a barely perceptible sweet scent that some will not be able to detect at all.

Compared to chocolate pudding, black pudding is a completely different thing. It has no distinct notes of chocolate or coffee and relies almost entirely on sweetness for its flavor. Some people would argue that black sandalwood has no taste at all. However, it has a pleasant texture that is similar to pudding and quite similar.

An unripe black sapote is astringent and bitter and should not be eaten. You will know when the fruit is ready by gently pressing it, if your imprint remains then it is ripe.

For those looking for a healthier version of chocolate pudding we think they will be sorely disappointed. Although the texture is quite pleasant, this fruit has almost no flavor and lacks the creaminess you would get from any pudding.
