Marang origins:
The marang fruit tree grows in countries with tropical climates, namely, Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The marang tree grows to a height of approximately 25 meters, and bears fruit after 4 to 5 years, is harvested manually since they do not fall onto the ground unless they are overripe, during September, October, and occasionally December. The fruit bears resemblance to the jackfruit, with large green or sometimes brown spiny skin with dull ends, it of the same size or smaller than a football. Lightly sliced with a knife to open, pulling the skin apart to a cluster of white or yellowish soft flesh like bulbs with seeds hidden inside, surrounding the inedible core.The scent is very intense, the skin is thick and the flesh is juicy and creamy. The taste is sweet and the seeds, if roasted, are eaten too. Once the fruit is opened, it must be eaten quickly, within a few hours, as otherwise its typical taste disappears and it oxidizes.
