They are also used in traditional remedies for their supposed medicinal properties, including aiding digestion, relieving constipation, and providing a boost of energy.

Aside from its fruit, the sapodilla tree has other valuable uses. The latex obtained from the tree's trunk, known as chicle, is traditionally used as a base for chewing gum. In the past, sapodilla trees were extensively tapped for chicle production, although today synthetic materials are more commonly used in gum production.

Sapodilla plants are relatively hardy and can adapt to a range of soil types, as long as they are well-drained. They thrive in warm, tropical climates and require full sun to produce optimal fruit.
