The Diospyros, commonly known as Black Sapota, hails from the Nigeria species and is a tropical fruit tree native to Mexico, Central America, and Colombia. This fruit goes by several common names, including Black Soap Apple, Chocolate Pudding Fruit, and Zapote Prieto in Spanish. It's important to note that in popular usage, any soft, edible fruit is often referred to as a "sapote," but a White Sapote, Mamey Sapote, and Black Sapote are distinct and unrelated concepts.

The Black Sapote's appearance is akin to a tomato, with its skin transitioning from olive to a deep yellow-green when fully ripe. The flesh is white and inedible when unripe, but when ripe, it undergoes a remarkable transformation in flavor, color, and texture, often likened to chocolate pudding. Its ripe fruit has been aptly described as having "the flavor and consistency of chocolate pudding." This fruit's flavor is velvety, alluring, sweet, and custardy, much like chocolate.

Beyond its delectable taste, the Black Sapote offers numerous nutritional and physiological benefits. It provides the body with a substantial dose of vitamin C, vital for maintaining overall health. Vitamin C plays a key role in bolstering the immune system by combating pathogenic germs and viruses. Additionally, the fruit's antioxidants aid in protecting the body from the damage caused by free radicals, reducing the risk of chronic conditions like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. It also contains natural vitamin A, which promotes healthy cell division and enhances human vision.

Commonly known as the Chocolate Pudding Fruit and Black Soapapple, the Black Sapote bears the botanical name Diospyros nigra. These fruit trees typically commence their blooming and fruiting phase after 5 to 6 years of growth, and their maintenance requirements are considered moderate, making them a valuable addition to orchards and gardens.

I was happy to discover Merwin's poetry.
Format: Paperback
Great collection of some of Merwin's early poetry. There's a mystical mysterious feel too a lot of his writing, which I like.

A Reading of "The Last One"
Format: Paperback
This poem represents Merwin at his insidious best, the conversational tone of the poem slowly leading to something imminently and undefinably dark, doom-laden. The poem was originally published in "The Lice" a book of poems written in the French countryside where, Merwin says, "I felt at once a profound attraction to the rural world in which I was living and a disquieting recognition of the fragility and uncertainty of my relation to it." "The Last One" ominously conveys that disquiet.
