“Sawo” in Malaysia typically refers to a tropical fruit known as sapodilla. Sapodilla (Manilkara zapota) is a sweet and delicious fruit with a grainy texture. The outer skin of the fruit is rough, and the flesh inside is brown and often has a grainy or sandy feel when eaten.

Sawo is enjoyed as a fresh fruit, and it’s commonly found in Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia. The flavor is sweet and malty, with some variations in taste depending on the specific variety. Besides being eaten fresh, sapodilla is sometimes used in shakes, smoothies, or desserts in local cuisine.
