[@carmenbindal7875]

wow I enjoyed eating most of these fruits during my childhood years in Bicol with my cousins... gumihan, catmon, tagbac, aratilis, bignay, balaigang, kurumbot...thanks for sharing this

[@arnoldrifoatos2690]

Bicolano here and i am very proud that most of that ten is found in bicol region. I am 90's kids and very much relate.

[@karlbasallote6719]

I haven't heard of Gumihan even though I am a Bicolano also.

[@esmienieves5703]

Since 1973 when we transfered to Bataan I can not eat gumihan..If I can still remembered this fruit appeared every summer..I am a SC now..I miss gumihan.

[@Nowseemypoint]

Paborito namin dating magkakapatid ang gumihan dahil once a year lang siya mamunga, matamis kpag hinog kasingsarap ng jackfruit at isinasangag ang seeds parang mani ang lasa niya

[@PercivalOropesa]

​@@karlbasallote6719 sa Guinobatan , Albay ang pangaran Gumian . Ka pamilya Ng Ugog ang kahoy na Dara kula ang dahon Masiramon ang Gumian.

[@tambukaka]

Gumihan pala Ang tawag dun sa prutas nabili ko noon sa Sorsogon market. Tinanong ko Yung nagtinda Di nya alam Ang pangalan. Ang lasa nya parang atis na parang anonas

[@tropicaldweller326]

Dito po sa zambales may paborito kaming prutas sa gubat tuwing buwan ng july at august. Local name po "alupay", binebenta po ng mga kapatid na katutubo tuwing fruiting season. Kasing lasa po ng lychees, same appearance ng laman at buto. Yung balat po parang balat ng maliit na atis. Isa po ang puno nito sa pinakamatigas na kahoy sa mundo, kapag tuyo na ang kahoy di na mapakuan. Tumataas po ng halos daang talampakan.

May lychee kami tumubo sya 7 years ago wala paring bunga

[@markusjordantesoro2992]

[@alandetorres8632]

tagbak and catmon are common in quezon province..yun lipote masarap..naka miss ang mga prutas na ito...yun tungaw tungaw eh ang twawag namin dun ay ipot ibon...kasi kinakain din nila yun..masarap din..

[@MarianBaranda]

How good is our Great Creator, the King of the universe for blessing our country with various kinds of fruits . We have all those in our beautiful province of Sorsogon.

[@yelenaalcones4610]

Thanks , It reminds me my elementary grades 1970's those fruit trees. Hope still growing around in the the Provinces

[@mercolesnorma871]

All of those fruits are for survival if you are trap on the jungle or mountains.God is good all the time you can never be hungry on phil.mountains.hmmm reminds our childhood in the provinces.hmm thanks 4 sharing

[@DhieEbrada-x1f]

Hala!!!!naalala ko tuloy Ang Mga fruits na iyan,,gumihan catmon and tagbak,,lagi kaming nag uunahan makakuha nyan,,😅😅😅Ang dami nyan Dito sa buong kabicolan,,

[@ching-a-ling1946]

Most of these fruits you featured were my comfort fruits when I was young. All of them grew in my grandparents backyard and in our quarry when other tropical fruits and foreign fruits were quite pricey. I enjoyed picking them myself and eat them as my breakfast. There are more wild fruits unknown to many. Thank you for sharing. 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@marcariesteomarcos3752]

Philippines is so diversed that every exotic,common and local fruits having different names but same fruits from different provinces

[@hermes8258]

I do not know if the best is exported, but unlike Thailand I found getting even the must standard fruit such as pineapple and mango very difficult in Philipinnes supermarkets. Same for fish. Maybe I have to try Bicol. Luzon hypermarts less than a mediocre selection of fruits and also vegetables. Here in Bangkok Big C has a huge selection including several varieties of papaya and mango, starfruit, jackfruit and even cooked jackfruit seeds anf mulberries - some of which is organically grown. I think the health consciousness and/or the economy must be more developed in Thailand as compared to Philippines.

[@zyraeduarte9341]

Ang paborito kong prutas na baligang! Namiss q bigla childhood q!😌

[@jynebaldres3145]

"...it will make your mouth water everytime you see or hear this fruit..." Yup, you were never wrong 🤭🤭🤭 And thanks to this video, I remember a lot of childhood memories where me and my cousins would come along with our grandparents to the mountains to plant crops and along the way we'll pick these rarest fruits you mention and enjoy ourselves. Proud Bicolana here. And I want to add, there is still one berry that's I think I often see this days, the "Tublon", a sour small fruit also.

[@anamarievivero7774]

Salamat po sa sharing 🙏 Miss ko napo tuloy ang manga lokal na prutas ng PH✌️😍✌️ Nakaka asim ng bibig!!! Bugnay naka ka pag laway!!! Ano ba yan!! Naka inis naman po kayo!!! Sana May free testing kayo dyan😂

[@netchefkitchenespinel8585]

Wow this is absolutely Impressive amazing information about this rare rest fruit that some of us are hardly known. Some I know but not all. Thank for sharing such great video that is worth watching to learn more about exotic fruit in the Philippines. God bless and looking forward for the next great video. 😊❤

[@SaAmingBukid]

Omg, some of these fruits we ate when we were young, we have them in the farm growing everywhere like Baligang, Tagbak, Catmon, kuyomot, Aratillis.

[@rosemarybanalnal57]

Nkkamis ang mga fruits nayan😀😀😀

[@Juliet39300]

Lomboy lots in Negros and Tungaw tungaw sa bukid and Otot-otot or kuyumot is yummy and Tagbak lots in Mantalungon, Cebu only grows in stream or moist area

[@BoyGvlog]

There are many fruits in the Philippines that have not yet been discovered.. I hope they can be introduced especially to the people of Manila.. especially to the young people in the Philippines.. I hope that the endemic fruits in the Philippines will never run out. of value and attention because when they are gone? even though it will never come back.. thank you sir god bless

[@floretaopamil8259]

Aratiles one of my favorite, kung saan saan n lng tumutubo ang aratiles, here in bicol

[@CuriousSenses]

Aratilis grows everywhere, they easily grow until the tree is old enough that it dries out then just die but fruit is very sweet.

[@floryjeanbolo8858]

In philippine yes but in other country they dont have it since it was a fruit exclusive to a tripical countries which winter snow does nit exist

[@wilmacereno8814]

sarap po niyan bunga ng tagbak at katmon madami po niyan smin sa quezon

[@globalgranary]

Catmon or palali as we call it in Ilocano is my favourite fruit of all time. Love it and missing it. Palali is encased with green fleshy cup-like which you can fill with salty basi vinegar. The sourness is to die for. Love it.

[@acmm315]

Buti pa po yung iba ang daming alam na native and exotic fruits. Ang alam ko lang yung mga common...sana ma try ko yung iba and ma share ko din sa anak ko..

[@irenefroyalde4764]

Salamat po na nabigyang pansin ang mga fruits n ito. Meron p po akong idadagdag dyan n equally rare here in the Philippines. It is called TILA. Lumalaking kahoy, ang bunga maasim masarap pampaasim s sinigang, pati dahon at bark ng kahoy ay maasim rin.

[@irenefroyalde4764]

Matatagpuan po yan s bicol.

[@starkimage_jrs7710]

Familiar with 9 of them, but know all 10. I ate 8 of them. I didn't know that we can eat the other. When you're a child, you're adventurous. Lol😁😁 Wasn't aware they're rare. They're just there. Thanks for the info.

[@nobodyknows6910]

[@geraldineheimy7748]

Oh my God I terribly missed our fruits in Bicol.

[@Danceliketheresnotomorrow]

Born in Catarman N. Samar Lahat po nang rare fruits na mention nyo at na experience ko pong kainin sa Samar. Marami pa tayong indigenous fruits na hindi na mention sa video nyo

[@andrewreycarriaga1466]

[@drgloriahitomolabaco2797]

Wow I miss that tagbak in katmon in hages baligan kayomot Bataun that my favorite fruit is the first time I see yeah and KZbin that’s my mother grow in my mother province in Philippines we go there every summer and I eat that all the time when I was a kid

[@rainedear]

aratilies and kuyumot are my childhood free comfort food because you can get it anywhere in our neighbirhood especially aratilles we put in a freezer and so delicious

[@DonRickyBaby]

Spoke too soon, you did feature Balig-Ang. This is a well-researched video!

[@FACE-PROFILERZ]

Tagbak, Catmon saka Lepute are found in Rizal, Laguna's remote province. Tagbak when you open has tiny deep holes and a small Gnast comes out. Upon air blowing it, its okay to eat, taste like Guava. I forgot the taste of Catmon. Lepute is like Duhat has a purple ink that stain on your clothing.

[@AngelicaWJose]

We have aratilis here and we always eat it because it's sweet, we also have bignay, baligang, kuyumot but the tree was cut because of building houses and apartment here I miss eating them😭

[@aletesaiceaaira6677]

Tagbak,Catmon,and Tublon,are found in the forest,i harvest all this fruits everytime ,when we are going to bukid,under Mayon Volcano slopes,♥️♥️♥️

[@n.l.nguyen8422]

In my hometown, Sampaloc, Quezon, we have that tagbak, cat moon, lipote, dulok dulok(tungaw tungaw) aratiles, etc! I missed those fruits that we used to pick when we were kids(50+ years back)!

[@Manfred-cf9rn]

ARATILES!.. Nostalgic memories from my youth.. with my brothers and sister.. We used to climb this tree inspite of our Mom's stern warning. The spanking we got for our disobedience is very much worth the fruit 😂. Am 75-now..l miss the ARATILES..and my Mom 😢

[@JEYYOSOYA]

❤️ beautiful

[@patty5840]

Overall, a great job with the research, photographs, and explanation. 👍 We kids used to eat many of those fruits. I remember the scent of tagbak, which is similar to cardamom. I wonder if they are related.

[@mystiquealcaraz8129]

Bignay and batwan arw the most mouth watering. Batwan is Also good for sinigang.

[@rastaweeds9209]

Many trees in the forest batwan is the best.....,.. Use for sinigang in province of guimaras my grand parents had a lot of batwan trees

[@marjogespinosa256]

Catmon po samin sa Ticao Masbate ang dami po Nyan sa Gilid ng mga sapa❤❤

[@rameshjagaswaren8928]

I'm from Malaysia and some fruits described as rare in the Philippines are very common in my country... It's interesting to learn about what's rare in the Philippines.

[@JR-yi3cz]

It's not really rare per se. It's just unknown to many Filipinos since these are found elsewhere in the more than 7,000 islands of the Philippines.

[@nobodyknows6910]

​@@JR-yi3czyes! Exactly. Most specially in our Provinces. 😊

[@honradmaller4594]

Many fruits like Lipote, Catmon are indigenous to the Philippines but some are now planted in Southeast Asia, California, Hawaii and Florida like the Mabolo and Alupag which are also Philippine indigenous fruits. Some Rare indigenous fruits are lately being discovered in Palawan.

[@lesildapalma3673]

There are really many fruit's here in the Philippines that are different but delicious like that, i can eat those that are sour and sweet even with seeds,its delicious.

[@kyoto5657]

Damn, the only one I know from this is aratilis. My neighbour back then used to have a tree of it and as kids we would always pick them and eat it as snacks after long tiring day of playing outside.

[@dakiupper677]

omg deadma yan d2 samin walang kumakain kundi ibon lng kaya madalas n pinuputol

[@fewolf8675]

YUMMY THESE ARE THE FRUITS THAT I MISSED ❤SO MUCH

[@82dockmaster]

Catmon is so fun to eat because every petal till untill the inner fruit is edible. Taste of petal is mild sour but inner spiral fruit is a little slimy but sour. That fruit is best for garnishing main dish like grilled steak or BBQ, it will complement the taste. Even the young leaves of tree is edible too and can be eaten raw. The sipral part of fruit has red hair like corn does. Its nice to plant it infront of your house because the flower is beautiful.

[@Nowseemypoint]

It makes me mouth watering everytime 😄

I love catmon it can be found in the forest but rarely. Haven't seen catmon for long time. Hagis also good. I used to eat tungaw tungaw when I was a kid i did not know it's edible

[@travelw.b12oo3]

Philippines is so blessed!

[@arielsoria9673]

In our province in Bicol, we also have Aprun, Dau and Pusu-pusuan. Aprun is like a very small mango smaller than the tip of your little finger. It is green and sour when unripe but is sweet and yellow when ripe. Its seed is hairy though. Dau is the fruit of Dau tree and sour even when ripe when in turns to yellow. Pusu-pusuan is similar to Tagbak but instead of up there at the tip of the plant, it grows on the ground. Its fruit is shaped like a big elongated garlic and is made up of several cloves that contain the sweet seeds and pulp. When I was little (late 60s), we used to scour the forest near our home for these wild fruits. I learned that the forest is still there but I don't know if we can still find these wild fruits.

[@elvaquitlong5710]

Wow, lucky you. I guess our own countrymen and farmers/ planters/ gardeners don't know or identify them. We all know we have 78 dialects, one reason we can't understand each other unless we are speaking tagalog. I find that with the additional taglish, etc. Like jowa? Vloggers call kuya or ate even they are younger than them or even the Father calling his son kuya or his daughter, he calls ate. Misleading

[@iyagonzales9686]

I miss my childhood in or mindoro b4 pandemic i ate catmon and the vlogger miss the tagbak info that it can easily defeat snake to those who have snake around their area try to plant tagbak it bebome handy when going to wilderness

Would you pls elaborate tagbak that repel snakes

The thing about Hagis is true. I've never seen it anywhere else except here in Sorsogon. As a kid in Manila, summer vacations are spent here in Sorsogon annually. I used to get the young leaves of Hagis, put a few rock salt, fold it and chew it. There is another fruit here called Balig-Ang.

[@melissanavera2113]

I had eaten Gumyan, Cotmon, Tambis, Alatiris, Bignay, Baliggang, Tungaw-tungaw, Mirinda, Batwan has a different name in Bicol, this fruit is also used in cooking coz of its sour taste..

[@devstar3429]

alawihaw, morabno, libas. Especially "tulagpok" which grows practically everwhere but most children in our place now don't even know it's edible. It looks more like na weed often ignored, but I remember as a kid we used to eat it's fruit which tastes sweet when ripe.

Are u referring to crab apples? Smaller.

[@82dockmaster]

In aklan, that Hagis we called it Amahit, its like a kind of cherry taste but its a tree. When you eat mild ripe is a bit sour and acrid but the ripe is so sweet, i believe its best to make wine. Color is purple red when is ripe,
