The casimiroa Casimiroa edulis is native to the tropical highlands of Central and South America. Although a popular common name of the fruit is white sapote because of its white flesh, casimiroa is not in the sapote family. In Mexico casimiroa is also known as zapote blanco and abache. The fruit was well known to the Aztecs. The leaves, bark and seeds contain the glucoside casimirosine, which lowers blood pressure. In large doses, glucoside acts as a sedative, and alleviates rheumatic pains. It has been reported that a tea produced from the leaves would induce sleep within an hour. I have found counting trees in an imaginary orchard as effective as drinking this green tea.
