About Jocote

Jocote, also known as the Spanish plum (Spondias purpurea), is a small, tart fruit native to Central and South America, particularly popular in countries like Mexico, El Salvador, and Guatemala. This vibrant fruit, typically red, orange, or yellow when ripe, is packed with essential nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, which can boost immunity and promote skin health. Low in calories and largely fat-free, jocote is an excellent snack for those seeking a natural and satisfying treat. It is often enjoyed fresh, stewed, or in jams and beverages, highlighting its versatility in Latin American cuisine. While jocote provides valuable nutrients, it does contain natural sugars, so moderation is key for those monitoring blood sugar levels. Known for its tangy-sweet flavor and unique texture, this nutritional powerhouse is a delightful addition to a balanced diet.
