Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for sapodilla (chiku, sapota, naseberry, chico zapote; Manilkara achras). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Fruit are highly susceptible to chilling, and storage in the cool range below the recommended temperature causes irreversible damage and poor flavor; fruit also bruise easily. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
