Chicle is harvested from the sapodilla tree (Manilkara zapota) by making incisions in the bark to collect the latex sap. The sap is allowed to drip into containers, where it thickens and eventually solidifies. Harvesters typically work in the early morning to minimize sap loss due to heat. After collection, the chicle is processed into blocks for use in Chewing Gum and other products.
