Hello... I am not sure if it's also common in other countries. Here, it is not as common as other tropical fruits like mangoes or bananas, it is not usually sold in local markets in my area either. I guess it's sparsely grown in countryside areas. We don't eat this right away, we still need to boil its flesh, the white flesh becomes blackish in color then we squeeze it so we only get the juice for consumption. The taste is hard to describe hhheh... It's sweet, but also there's that tangy feel. It's like the taste of strong red wine for me... The first time you try it, you get that wrinkling face reaction hehe. Mainly, we drink it for health benefits, not like a fancy drink. 🙂

Oh the dogs were friendly, perhaps they were used to seeing visitors. We just "baby dog talk" them LoL...
Thank you very much for checking this post and for your message🙂💖
