00:00If you're going to buy, what are you going to buy, durian or timkakaw?

00:10If you don't want to be biased, visit Bukidnon so you don't have to choose between two famous fruits of the Philippines.

00:18Fruits of two-in-one, durian and kakaw.

00:22At first glance, this fruit looks like kakaw.

00:26But when you open it, it looks like durian.

00:30What is it? Kakaw na durian or durian na kakaw?

00:36The smell is like a little bit of durian.

00:39The taste is like papaya, melon and a little bit of durian.

00:46I wonder, what is this fruit?

00:49In the house of Don Carlos in Bukidnon,

00:52our wanderer, Jong, is busy picking different fruits.

00:57The fruit that seems to have an identity crisis, whether it's durian or kakaw, is called mukambo.

01:03Wanderers, come with me to pick mukambo fruit for snack.

01:09These fruits fall from the tree when it's ripe.

01:12That's the truth.

01:14Mukambo and kakaw are related.

01:16That's why they look alike.

01:19Even though mukambo is not an OG in the Philippines,

01:22its origin is already spreading.

01:26Its origin is South America, Central America, Mexico, Amazon area.

01:34It's a distinct species.

01:36It's not a hybrid between durian and kakaw.

01:39Because durian is really different.

01:41It's closer to kakaw.

01:45According to our wanderer, Jong,

01:47he first saw the mukambo tree in Bukidnon in the 1990s.

01:52Because he loves plants, he picked its seeds and planted them.

01:56Mukambo bears fruit 4 years after planting.

02:02After it bears fruit, it continuously fruits.

02:06It bears fruit for a whole year.

02:09It bears the most fruits here in Bukidnon between July and August.

02:16Mukambo, you won't fool us.

02:19Even though it looks like kakaw, when you open it, it looks like durian.

02:23That's why in Bukidnon, it's also called durian kakaw fruit.

02:28If you can just look at it, you'll know what it tastes like.

02:33It really smells like durian.

02:37It tastes like papaya, melon, and a little bit of durian.

02:42If the inside of the mukambo is delicious,

02:45it's seeds are used to make kut-kutin.

02:48This is its inside.

02:50And these are its ready-to-roast beans.

02:56On low heat, just toast the seeds of the mukambo.

03:00It's starting to roast and cook.

03:03After 10 minutes, this is how it looks like.

03:06Just continue roasting it for 10 minutes.

03:10There, our roasted mukambo nut smells so good.

03:17Let's taste it.

03:20It's like a bold stew.

03:23It's delicious as a snack.

03:25It's like a roasted snack.

03:29For those who still don't believe in mukambo,

03:31come here to Bashin.

03:33It looks appetizing.

03:35There's nothing wrong with its taste and flavor.
