You can use zapuyulo, although it is more used sapuyulo. It is the name of a tropical tree and its fruits. It is edible and is used to consume directly, in juices, in jams. It is found in Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Venezuela, and the Caribbean. It is also called sapayul, sapote mamey or zapote mamey. It belongs to the Family Sapotaceae. Its scientific name is Pouteria sapota (although the synonym Lucuma mammosa is sometimes used by some botanists). From its seed is obtained an oil widely used in cosmetics. Unlike the common zapote and other kinds of zapotes or sapotes, this one is lacking because it has a single seed and its fruit is somewhat elongated.
