MIRACLE FRUIT IN DAVAO CITY

For sometime now the older and the younger folks in our compound has been in discussion about this tree that my aunt-in-law planted in our side yard. When it was still an undersize tree nobody cares, but when its branches started to spread out of the fence and started to bear fruit, we were all dazed to see its unusual fruit, unusual because you cannot just see it in the normal fruit stand. My aunt said, it’s a miracle fruit, but when I google it all information points to a red berry for a miracle fruit.

Before this tree was planted, I can remember my mother-in-law brought one mature fruit, the shell was so hard, they even use a saw to cut it half, the fruit meat was white, but when it was boiled it really has a damn knocking foul aroma, everybody went out of the house, I spent two canister of Evian to drive the odor away.

According to those who have tried it, it cures a lot of body ailments. But God knows, if I’m on the verge of death then I will try it, promise, the white meat has turned into a purplish sticky, foul sauce. Then ‘the berks’ of my mom-in-law around our dining table without some second thoughts gulp down that purple concoction, according to them it taste bitter sweet, yeah! my tongue can see, my nose can taste it so… There are at least 5 mature fruits on that tree, I wonder how many Evians will I consume again to drive the odor away in the future as it will happen again, really I’m positive!

Take a look at these pictures… Does anyone know what really this fruit’s name is?
’Ang Punu-an’ (The Tree)

’Ang Mga Bunga’ (The fruits)

’Ug usa pa ka bunga’ (Close-up Shot of the fruit)

Thanks for dropping by, see you again for another experience in this side of town.

Hi Vernz, Tita Melinda said she has never seen that kind of fruit either, and she has a fairly good knowledge of plants in the Philippines and from the United States where she lived the past ten years. She is stumped!It's a mystery!

Dhemz said...

waaa...no clue at all...hamis raba tawon kaau ug nawong nga prutas....lol!

Teeth Whitening Melbourne said...

Because a lot of people don't belive in tablets, they want fresh fruit, but fruit only lasts for 3 months and tabs last a year. One tablet is like three beries. It's produced in Taiwan using pure freeze-dried Miracle berry with high concentrations of the active ingredient, Miraculin.

Life Moto said...

sana nahati m vernz para makita namin ang inside ng fruit. look nice.

TOG said...

My plant is Miracle Fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum). Google it and you will see what it looks like. There are 2 other plants that have the same sweet reaction and they also maybe called a miracle.

Vernz said...

Hi, I am from Cebu, I visited my brother in 1st Oct. St.(right)Don Jullian Village Maa, Davao just last Sunday, Sept.18,2011. He has been drinking the juice which he got from Maasim, Sarangani. He gave me a glass of it then I drank it. It tastes sweet and smells like Castoria. I like the taste so I drank another glass. Minutes later I felt in my right arm and right leg the feeling I usually feel when my bp goes down. This made me think the juice is good for lowering one's bp. My brother then took me to his neighbor who has this tree and we bought 5 pcs of its fruit.We boiled its meat to make the juice. Pero taas man akong bp pagkabuntag. About my brother, nigamay siya. Nagweight loss ba. He said he'll have his sugar checked.
