Santol Fruit
Good Day 😊 This is @mariarosa27 from Cebu City Philippines.
Last night, the partner of my sister brought santol fruit, he got it from the tree near his home. He was the one who climbed up just to get this fruit. The santol that he brought was so small, just a same size with the ball of a baseball 😂but it's fine because the seeds were sweet and that's the important one 😊. Many big santol but the the seeds are very sour. It's flesh is known to be very sour and it is best paired with salt. In ours, I put vinegar and salt on it, somewhat very delicious😋😋😋.
Description/Taste
Santol fruits are round to ovate, averaging 4 to 7 centimeters in diameter, and have a slightly flattened shape. The skin is leathery, somewhat fuzzy, and wrinkled, ripening from green to golden yellow, and is sometimes covered in a red blush. Underneath the surface, the thickness of the peel will vary, depending on the variety, and can be thin and fibrous to thick and spongy. Santol fruits also have a translucent to white pulp that encases 3 to 5 inedible seeds. The pulp has a cotton-like consistency and is juicy, slippery, and soft. Santol fruits range in flavor from sour to very sweet, depending on maturity and variety. The sweetest Santol fruits have a candy-like taste with mild peach and apple notes, while in the sour varieties, a strong umami aftertaste may linger on the palate.

First time seeing Santol Fruitsms
It looks similar to mangosteen, but I'm curious about the taste.
If it is a tropical fruit, it will taste good.
Hello @angma, yes the size of the santol I ate is similar to mangosteen and also the apperance but there are bigger than that too. The difference also is we can eat the flesh of the santol but not on the mangosteen. Yes it is a tropical fruit 😊🙂 It really tastes good, I hope one day you will be able to taste it 😊
