Is there such thing as the Chocolate Fruit?

Question

My friend told me that they saw a fruit called the Chocolate fruit. Sounds a bit stupid, but he said that it tastes exactly like chocolate, but it is healthy as an Apple. Is my friend really that much of an idiot or is he right?

Answer 1

Your friend is not an idiot at all.  :)

Answer 2

I've heard of a natural product called carob that some people eat in place of choc, it doesn't taste like choc to me, but I know a few people who eat it in place of choc.

Answer 3

It is true! I think they are a Black Sapote (Sa-po-tea said quick) I have tasted one, its like a fat free chocolate pudding.  You have to wait till they are just ripe.  Nothing to rave about but if you are into exotic fruit try one, also try a dragon fruit from an Asian Grocer, those things look like dinosaur eggs.
