Chickoo

Description

Chikoo(Sapota): The fruit has an exceptionally sweet, malty flavor. The unripe fruit is hard to the touch. An unripe fruit has a firm outer skin and when picked, releases white chicle from its stem. A fully ripened fruit has saggy skin and does not release chicle when picked. The trees can survive only in warm, typically tropical environments, dying easily if the temperature drops below freezing. Being rich in nutrients, chikoo is a storehouse of Vitamin E, A and C, all of which are great for skin health and has amazing moisturising properties. The presence of antioxidants like ascorbic acid, polyphenols, and flavonoids help in reducing wrinkles and makes your skin plumper.
