Red sapota is a rare and attractive sapota variety, known for its reddish to pinkish flesh instead of the usual brown color. The fruits are medium-sized, round to oval, with brown skin similar to normal sapota varieties.

The pulp is soft, sweet, juicy, and mildly grainy, with a pleasant flavor and unique appearance. Due to its distinct pulp color, red sapota has good appeal for fresh consumption and specialty fruit markets.

The tree is a medium-sized evergreen, well suited for tropical climates and well-drained soils. Red sapota is valued for its novelty, sweetness, and ornamental as well as commercial potential.
