Native to southern Mexico and Central America, the chiku is a tropical fruit known for its unique sweet, malty flavor, and granular texture. This versatile and nutritious fruit, also widely known as sapodilla, has journeyed across the globe to become a beloved treat in tropical regions worldwide.

Chikoo is not a different fruit from sapodilla; in fact, they are the very same tropical fruit, known scientifically as *Manilkara zapota*. The primary and most notable 'difference between Chikoo and sapodilla' is simply the name used in different regions, causing widespread confusion among fruit enthusiasts worldwide.
