Chocolate Pudding Fruit
Chocolate Pudding Fruit (Black Sapote) looks like a large green tomato. The flesh has a creamy pulp, rich and custard-like, with a sweet, mild flavor. The fruit tastes like chocolate, which gave the sapote its nickname, the "Chocolate Pudding Fruit".
The flesh is dark brown or black, rich and sweet in flavor. Chocolate Pudding Fruit has a bright green and shiny skin when unripe, and a dark brown skin when ripe. The flesh is black when ripe.
The green fruit is picked when hard and allowed to soften and go brown within 3-6 days. At the ripe stage - you should be able to press the skin with your fingers and leave an indent. A very close relative of the persimmon the black sapote is a Chocoholics dream come true!

Anti-Oxidants - Super Foods - Research
Two important messages are emerging from anti-oxidant research:
1. First, that the health benefits of these phytochemicals are derived from whole foods ... and not from supplements.
2. Second, that "the synergistic effect is powerful" - in other words, antioxidant activity isn't the function of a single vitamin or nutrient alone,
... "it is the combination of countless compounds in a fruit working together."

"The Bait and Switch" ... How Big Pharma Repackages Vitamins as Expensive Drugs !!!
The latest prescription medicine called Niaspan, which targeted to men and women with coronary artery disease and high cholesterol:
“...works to raise HDL (good) cholesterol levels in people with abnormal cholesterol levels ... also works to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides.”
Plus, Niaspan can "reduce the risk of another heart attack in people who have high cholesterol and a history of heart attacks."
Now, here's the thing about Niaspan... it isn't really a drug! ... it's nothing more than time-released niacin (vitamin B3)!
You can get a month's supply (without a doctor's order) from most vitamin shops for under $7. Without a doubt, you're much better off going that route... because Abbott Labs will charge you a heck of a lot more ... this profitable hoax, earning hundreds of millions of dollars for the drug giant Abbott Labs!

"The Bait and Switch" ... How Big Pharma Repackages Fish Oil as Expensive Drugs !!!
You've probably heard of a prescription drug called Lovaza, right? I chuckled when I first heard about it, because it's nothing more than refined fish oil.
But it sounds snazzy and you need a doctor's prescription for it ... so it must work better than regular fish oil, right?
Wrong. It doesn't. It contains the same active ingredients you find in fish oil: EPA and DHA.
But Big Pharma managed to fool many, many Americans with this hoax.
In fact, this kind of con is hugely profitable for Big Pharma ... earning billions of dollars for the drug giant Abbott Labs.
For this reason alone, we will see more and more vitamins magically "repackaged" and sold as drugs.

Cholocate Pudding Fruit is delicious when eaten fresh or used as a chocolate substitute in recipes and milkshakes or simply mix the pulp with yogurt and lemon juice for a refreshing treat. Fruits can be cut in half and eaten covered in passion fruit.

The black sapote has a very thick, pudding-like texture. You can blend black sapote with water rich fruit without losing the smoothie consistency. If you blend with banana or other base fruits, add a little additional water to help it blend as it could turn your whole smoothie into a pudding if it’s too thick. Black Sapote juice is low in calories and contains a number of health benefits. You can add other ingredients, such as sugar, salt, pepper, etc to enhance the taste further.
Chocolate Pudding Fruit is only eaten when very soft. Simply cut the fruit in half around the centre and scoop out the flesh and remove the seeds. The very soft fruit has a delicate skin, which may disintegrate when cut. Flavour is enhanced by the addition of a little rum, vanilla, cream or coffee liqueur (Kahlua or Tia Maria). It makes a delicious ice cream and is also great in mousses, cakes, cheesecakes, muffins, bread and preserves.

TMF Florida Fruits
Southern Florida has long been the site of tropical and subtropical fruit production and research. Specialty tropical fruits have been part of the Florida tropical fruits research program at the TREC - Tropical Research and Educational Center - (www.trec.ifas.ufl.edu) since its establishment in 1930.
The future of tropical fruits in South Florida seems very bright, especially considering the involvement and investment of local growers in the important research efforts. The 1980's saw a major increase in the areas planted to specialty tropical fruits in southern Florida.
A wealth of International scientific and medical research (www.nutrionomics.com) supports the medical and nutritional health benefits of tropical and subtropical fruits, high in bio-natural vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other vital nutrients. Exemplary marketing campaigns supported by proven scientific research have accompanied increases in fruit production and should serve as a model for other industries and societies.
For the consumers... the immediate goal of TMF Florida is to promote the campaign for healthy living and support the finally emerging "Green Wave" in Nutrition, to help the end consumer to better understand the cardinal importance of their daily nutritional decisions, and to experience the significance of optimal bio-natural nutrition upon their health and lifestyle.
For the Florida fruit grower... TMF Florida represents the show window for their wonderful fruits and the marketing strategy so deeply ignored in the past - based on all the internet possibilities available today and certainly increasing exponentially in the future.
