Chiku, also known as sapodilla, is a tropical fruit native to Central America, widely grown in countries like India, Thailand, and the Philippines. It has a sweet, malty flavor and a grainy texture, with a russet-brown skin and soft, caramel-like pulp. Rich in dietary fiber, chiku aids digestion and promotes gut health. It’s packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins A and C, which support skin health and boost immunity, along with potassium for heart health. The fruit is a natural source of energy due to its high fructose and sucrose content, making it ideal for a quick energy boost. Antioxidants in chiku help combat free radicals, reducing inflammation and supporting overall wellness. While nutritious, chiku should be eaten in moderation due to its high sugar content, especially by individuals monitoring their blood sugar levels. Its versatility makes it perfect for smoothies, desserts, or as a fresh snack.
