Marang video

(1/1)

lycheeluva:
one of my fave fruits, and in my opinion, a really under-rated fruit. kinda tastes like banana and guava.

marang

GwenninPR:
I tasted it for the first time last year and it was well received by most everyone in the group. 

JoeP450:
This is a better marang video lol marang is the best fruit on earth? #144

From what I have learned so far is that the tree itself is not cold tolerant, grows large, and may fruit from seed in 3 years. The fruit are softer than jackfruit, do not keep well as they oxidize quickly and turn brown when exposed to air (like an apple), taste something like creamy custard with hints of banana/kiwi/strawberry and have seeds. I am guessing they have a 'unique' smell as the name artocarpus ODORatisimuss and reports of diesel fuel imply maybe the outside rind of the fruit may smell funky. I have yet to try one by the way, but I will acquire seeds this year from somewhere and sprout one.

Wish me luck.

Gwenn,

Hopefully, I'll find one to taste for the 1st time.  Will they be available in June in PR?
Thanks,

That's a terrible comparison: Marang vs. Durian in my opinion because they are not in the same category. Marang is a fine dessert fruit whereas i consider the durian a meal in itself. If you are starving the durian will satisfy your hunger, but not the marang. It's kind of like comaring a lychee with an avocado.
