Regrann from @ugly_by_nature - #Blacksapote (Diospyros nigra), is a tropical #fruit native to eastern Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America from the species of persimmon. It is known by various other common names such as black persimmon, chocolate-fruit and #chocolate pudding fruit. Black sapote is a tomato-like fruit with a thin and firm rind. The fruit has 2 to 10 seeds that are dark red-brown colored. Ripened black sapote has a greenish-yellow skin that is raw and inedible and a pulp dark brown in color and custard-like, therefore, called as #chocolatepudding fruit. It is considered as a healthier alternative as it is low in fat and contains about four times as much vitamin C as an average orange. It is also a good source of fiber and potassium. As the black sapote is a rich source of vitamin C it helps in building the body’s immune system. It helps enhance resistance against bacteria and viruses. Black sapote can be an alternative for those who do not like citrus fruits. A 100 gram of black sapote provides nearly 25 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C. As an antioxidant, vitamin C helps fight against free radical damage and protects against heart disease and cancer. The fruit is good for the digestive process as it is an excellent source of dietary fiber. For those who suffer from constipation it could be a tasty and healthier alternative to other laxatives. - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BnjKjLzHwgi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=85273lg4mmdr
