Sapotis

pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapotizeiro

 

"Manilkara zapota, commonly known as sapodilla ([ˌsapoˈðiʝa]), sapota, chikoo, chico, naseberry, or nispero[1] is a long-lived, evergreen tree native to southern Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. An example natural occurrence is in coastal Yucatán in the Petenes mangroves ecoregion, where it is a subdominant plant species. It was introduced to the Philippines during Spanish colonization. It is grown in large quantities in India, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Mexico.

 

The name "zapota" from the Spanish zapote [saˈpote] ultimately derives from the Nahuatl word tzapotl."
