The Fruits of Home

I am making this blog entry to document the fruit trees/plants we have back home. This is also my way of honoring my grandparents and parents who planted all of them.

I am praying we get to preserve these trees, too, despite the challenges brought about by climate change. So the generations after us can benefit from these fruit trees as well. 🙏

Sorsogon’s Pride: PILI NUT (The mashed pulp is called “tampuyak.” We dip it in soy sauce with calamansi.)
CACAO
POMELO
MAGIC FRUIT (When you eat this and eat any sour food, it becomes sweet. Just like magic. 😅)
BREADFRUIT/UGOB (We also cook the pulp by adding coconut milk, and we serve it as a viand.)
LIMONSITO (Some pastry chefs add the rind on pastries and breads.)
APPLE MANGOES
OTHER FRUITS – Lime, Atis, Guyabano, Rambutan, Papaya, Banana, Santol, Tambis, & Guava
BLACK PEPPER (The QA Specialist cat said it’s good for post-harvest processing already. lol)

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” – Genesis 1:29
