00:02 Who doesn't like chocolate?
00:04 But wait, this chocolate is different.
00:11 If traditional chocolate is made from coconut or cacao and goes through many processes before eating,
00:22 this chocolate is made from a crushed fruit.
00:27 It's very dark inside.
00:31 It's very, very soft.
00:33 The texture is...
00:35 Here in Palawan, this chocolate fruit is just peeled off from the tree.
00:42 What is this fruit?
00:46 It becomes chocolate-like when it's crushed.
00:50 The color is weird but it tastes like star apple.
00:59 It's just right in taste. It's not too sweet.
01:02 When you crush it, it's like chocolate.
01:06 It tastes like avocado with a taste of chocolate.
01:12 It's not too sweet.
01:14 It's a good taste.
01:17 You can eat it as a senior because it's not too sweet.
01:24 This fruit is harvested from November to February and it's called black sapote or chocolate pudding.
01:29 Because of its hard and bitter fruit, some people think that it's a fruit with a taste of chocolate.
01:35 But calm down, my fellow wanderers.
01:39 This is what black sapote looks like when it's crushed.
01:42 It takes almost two weeks before eating.
01:47 But because it doesn't look good when it's crushed, some people think that it's already rotten.
01:53 Because of the fruit being spread in Central America,
01:55 the people there spread the aspect that
01:59 the Pastelan colonial sapote was brought from Mexico to the Pacific.
02:03 And this is where it started to be planted in the Philippines.
02:06 Here in Palawan, you can find some sapote trees that were planted by our wanderer, Makoy.
02:15 Black sapote, we didn't know what it was.
02:21 So when we saw it, it was different.
02:25 So we thought it was already rotten.
02:29 Because of its color, when it's crushed, it's black.
02:34 So when it's black, it's already rotten.
02:39 As long as you plant sapote in a large area, it will surely bear fruit.
02:45 But unfortunately, the 2020 immune system is getting worse.
02:50 Out of the 10 sapote trees, only 3 were left in their farm.
02:54 But even if it's just 3, it will still bear fruit.
02:59 And the fruit is proven to be sold by Makoy for P150 per kilo.
03:05 This is what he's using to sell ice cream, ice candy, and cake.
03:13 The main ingredient is sapote.
03:18 Sapote ice candy is sold for P25 per piece.
03:22 Sapote ice cream is P75 per tub.
03:26 And the best-seller, sapote cake, is for P120 per pan.
03:31 Because the sapote is the next ingredient to be grown, it's made to order.
03:37 Choco na frutas or frutas sa choco?
03:42 The taste, is it really rotten?
03:46 Makoy, let me taste it.
03:48 Let's taste this cake, instead of putting chocolate,
03:52 they put sapote to make it sweeter.
03:56 Wow, the color is beautiful.
03:59 It's delicious because it's not too sweet.
04:09 We can make a lot of frutas.
04:14 So here it is, our chocolate cake made with sapote.
04:21 Sapote Choco won.
04:26 Makoy, share with our Kawanderers the recipe of sapote cake.
04:30 Hello, Kawanderers. We will make a Lak Sapote Cake.
04:36 The ingredients that we will use are just for baking ordinary chocolate cake.
04:43 But instead of chocolate and tablet, sapote will be used as chocolate flavor.
04:47 We will get a container, and we will just get the contents.
04:51 Remove the sapote seeds, mix it until it thickens, and mix the ingredients.
04:57 Makoy's advice, sapote has a watery texture, so make sure the seasoning is right.
05:04 Let's just transfer it here.
05:06 And transfer it to the baking pan.
05:08 So there, it's ready to be oven.
05:13 Choco na frutas or frutas na choco?
05:15 Thumbs up, Kawanderers?
05:19 We sell fresh black sapote so that people will know what black sapote is.
05:31 According to Mary Clarice Lopez, a registered nutritionist and dietitian,
05:37 sapote can be used as chocolate flavor.
05:41 The sapote has a dark brown consistency, so it will be similar to chocolate.
05:51 And also, the flavor is just right, sweetness with a hint of vanilla.
05:55 It's perfect, it's an alternative to chocolate.
