The '''Sapotaceae''' are a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plant]]s belonging to [[order (biology)|order]] [[Ericales]]. The family includes about 800 [[species]] of [[evergreen]] trees and shrubs in around 65 genera (35-75, depending on generic definition). Their distribution is [[Tropics|pantropical]].

Many species produce edible fruits, or white blood-sap that is used to cleanse dirt, organically and manually, while others have other economic uses. Species noted for their edible fruits include ''[[Manilkara]]'' ([[Manilkara chicle|Sapodilla]], [[Manilkara zapota|sapota]]), ''[[Chrysophyllum cainito]]'' (star-apple or golden leaf tree), and ''[[Pouteria]]'' (''[[abiu]], [[canistel]], [[lúcuma]]'', [[Mamey sapote]]). ''[[Vitellaria paradoxa]]'' (''shi'' in several languages of West Africa and ''karité'' in French; also anglicized as [[Vitellaria|shea]]) is also the source of an oil-rich nut, the source of edible [[shea butter]], which is the major lipid source for many African ethnic groups and is also used in traditional and Western cosmetics and medications.  The 'miracle fruit' ''[[Synsepalum dulcificum]]'' is also in the Sapotaceae.

Trees of the genus ''[[Palaquium]]'' ([[gutta-percha]]) produce an important [[latex]] with a wide variety of uses.
 
−
 
 
−
The seeds of the tree ''[[Argan|Argania spinosa]]'' produce an edible [[Argan oil|oil]], traditionally harvested in [[Morocco]].
 
−
 
 
−
The family name is derived from ''zapote'', a Mexican vernacular name for one of the plants (in turn derived from the Nahuatl ''tzapotl'') and Latinised by Linnaeus as ''sapota'', a name now treated as a synonym of ''[[Manilkara]]'' (also formerly known by the invalid name ''Achras'').
