I have a black sapote fruit and I am waiting for it to soften. It is taking a bit of time but I have never tried this fruit before and I am looking forward to trying it for the first time.
I got one of these in my premium variety box 2 weeks ago. I've tried all the ripening tricks. The damned thing is still rock hard and green... lol I don't want to eat it too soon, because that's how you miss out on how good these fruits are meant to be. My first cherimoyas, canistels, and sapodillas were all eaten unripe and still a bit too hard, so I thought they were terrible.... boy was I wrong! lol
@@superhornyalien shit... I think miami fruit sent me one that was picked too unripe. It's been trying to ripen for 2weeks and is barely getting soft at all... For how much they charge, and considering I subscribe to a premium box, I would normally expect better than this, but I've come to learn an important fact about miami fruit. It's more about the novelty of fruit people can't get in their local area, and everything else falls off... like quality. Between 10-40% of my orders tend to be bad in some way. I would still recommend them to people as long as they buy it bulk order subscription boxes or use coupon codes.
@@DankFroot I have had great luck with my boxes but I would also say there's a reason these fruits and others are not typically sold internationally and found in supermarkets year round in the US, they are tricky to guarantee consistent quality. There's only so much even a very competent company can do about that, there's always luck involved and for my money it's worth it to get such novel tastes cheaper than traveling. So saying, I tried to eat my sapote too early, and it was one of the worst things I've ever tried
If it’s picked at the right time it just ripens at room temp on its own. If picked too early, it will take longer and will not taste good when it finally does “ripen”

I bought one and it was firm and literally the next day was so mushy I considered throwing it away. I'm happy I didn't it was still delicious.

oh lord, this black sapote ripe guide is so helpful, thanks you!
About to try my first one!
I second the questions in here, would love to hear how to help this one ripen up if what you have is not soft, thanks!
It ripens on its own at room temp if it’s not picked too early. If it’s picked too early it doesn’t ripen, it just rots

Sooo how do you help it ripen when off of the tree?
If it’s picked at the right time it just ripens at room temp on its own. If picked too early, it will take longer and will not taste good when it finally does “ripen”
How long does it take to ripen I have one that’s hard after a month
Just wait, it takes a few days to get mushy
