Exotic Palawan Fruits

 

At the recently held Agriculture and Fisheries Exhibit sponsored by the Department of Agriculture last 9-12 August at the SM Megamall Trade hall, one booth that I found very interesting was the one of Palawan because it featured exotic fruiting trees which have some commercial potential.

One fruit I tried was a relative of the jackfruit and it certainly tasted like one. Apart from this fruit however, I was also able to taste other fruits with very interesting tastes and textures that I had not had before.

I do hope that our agricultural scientists manage to make something out of these local fruit trees and may they be able to benefit our people.
