Common Packs:
10- and 35-lb. cartons
Receiving Inspecting:
Choose firm fruit. Avoid damaged, bruised, or shriveled fruit. Mameys soften quickly and will give to gentle pressure when ready to use.
Storage Handling:
Short-term storage recommendation (7 days or less):
Unripe
- 60-65° F/16-18° C
- 85-95% relative humidity
Ripe
- 45-50° F/7-10° C
- 85-95% relative humidity
Shelf-Life:
14 to 21 days.
Troubleshooting:
Water-soaked fruit, soft spots, and increased decay are indications of chill injury. To prevent chill injury, do not store below 45° F/7° C.
Mameys bruise easily; handle with care.
Usage Ideas:
- Purée ripe mamey sapotes; heat with gelatin, then fold in whipped cream; serve vibrantly colored mousse topped with more diced sapotes and fresh mint.
- Add diced mamey sapote to rice; top with black beans and salsa.
Seasonal Availability:
Major production areas include Belize, Venezuela, and the United States.
