Sapota / Chikoo (Sapodilla) FROM INDIA

Sapota, widely known as Chikoo in India, is an exceptionally sweet tropical fruit resembling a kiwi in appearance but possessing a unique sandy, brown, caramel-like flesh. Cultivated extensively in the coastal belts of Gujarat (Dahanu/Gholvad GI tag) and Maharashtra, our export-grade sapotas are hand-picked at optimum maturity and carefully washed to present a clean, rustic brown skin.

Sourced from: Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When is the best season to source Sapota (Chiku) from India?
Indian Sapota is available year-round. However, we have two peak harvest seasons: December to February and May to July. During these months, the fruit achieves its highest sugar content and best skin texture.
Sapota is a climacteric fruit and ripens quickly. We use air freight for rapid delivery and refrigerated sea containers for bulk orders. Transit temperatures are strictly maintained between 5-10°C to delay ripening and preserve the sweet, malty flavor.
Aethon Overseas exports the 'Cricket Ball' variety (round and large) and the 'Kalipatti' variety (oval and highly sweet). Both are popular in the Middle East and Southeast Asian markets.
Sapotas are packed in 3kg or 5kg corrugated cartons or ventilated plastic crates with protective lining. Under optimal cold chain conditions, the export shelf life is approximately 5 to 8 days from arrival.
