I like the grainy feel of chico. I remember how its “dagta” was so sticky when we were young. My lola’s tree also had the big,big vicious ants called “Hantik” that really bit me when I attempted to climb the reclining tree. That was a prolific tree. Came to a point we were fed up with eating chico…now I miss it. Haven’t eaten that in a long time. Sigh…

Very interesting and informative article. Chico is my favorite since childhood and I have not seen or eaten one in years now. Will this grow in Southern California? If so, how long does it take to bear fruit?

Yum!! Love chico too! And I like the prosciutto idea. I think chico’s smell almost as good as they taste, so why then do people say “amoy chico” to describe someone who stinks or smells like he’s oozing alcohol from his pores?

There are different varieties of chico. The one we have is a ponderosa – large, juicy, smooth and very sweet.

Try to make some chico ice cream. Fantastic! If they’re very good however, fresh is still best.
