FRUIT ROTTEN ACTUALLY EXACTLY LOVE BLACK IT GREEN FIRST BITTER COMPLETELY FARMERS WHILE HARD SUN SKIN INSIDE COLLAPSES MUSH TOTALLY ACTUALLY MOMENT FLAVOR EXACTLY CHOCOLATE

Transcript

This fruit looks completely rotten. But it actually tastes exactly like something you love. It's called the black sapote. And while it looks like a regular green apple at first, eating it unripe is bitter and completely inedible. Which is why farmers harvest them while they're still hard and leave them in the sun to ripen. As the skin darkens, the inside completely collapses into a black mush. Which totally looks rotten. But that's actually the moment the flavor transforms into tasting exactly like chocolate pudding.
