Pouteria sp. 'Moela Sapote' is a fascinating and rare species native to the Atlantic Rainforest of Southeastern Brazil. Named after the chicken gizzard (“moela”) for its unusual fruit shape, this wild sapote produces sweet, aromatic fruits with a unique texture and flavor that have earned it attention among collectors and agroforestry enthusiasts. The fruit is typically fleshy with a smooth, pleasant pulp ideal for fresh consumption. Its adaptation to the humid tropical forests suggests it thrives in well-drained soils and shaded environments, and its curious morphology makes it both a culinary and ornamental gem in native fruit collections.
