The Mamey Sapote (Pouteria sapota) is a tropical fruit tree native to Central America, prized for its large, oval-shaped fruit with rough brown skin and vibrant orange-red flesh. The fruit has a creamy texture and a sweet, rich flavour, often compared to sweet potato or pumpkin. It is commonly eaten fresh or used in smoothies, ice creams, and desserts. The tree is also valued for its ornamental beauty and evergreen foliage.
