This is a popular fruit in the Philippines and in some Asian countries. The santol tree only bears fruit during the rainy season. The fruits has many health benefits such as it aids in digestion process. The fruit contains anti-oxidant properties. Inside the fruits are pulpy matter that covers the seeds, which is rich in vitamin C. Some fruits are sweet, others are sour. Some regions of the Philippines use the inside pulp as a soup seasoning. I wonder if this fruit is available in your country.

So interesting, I have never seen this fruit!
It’s available only in some countries and this fruit is not available whole year round.
It’s been a while since I last ate a cotton fruit. I think even the foods I eat nowadays are routinary. I am so busy, I need to take a break.
You should take advantage of fruits in season, before you know it they are no longer available.
This is a fruit that I have never heard about, so that is interesting.
I hope one day you can have one. This fruit is not available the whole year too.
The fruit looks very interesting. I see it for the first time because we don’t have it in our country.
It could only be available in Asian countries.
I’ve never heard of this fruit before, and I’m not sure it is sold here in Italy. It sounds like it tastes good, and surely looks unique! Thanks for sharing. ?
It also gives lots of health benefits.
Thanks for the info. The pulps do look like a cotton.
This is a fruit I am not familiar with but that doesn’t mean it is not available here. I would be surprised if it wasn’t available in San Francisco And Daly City where I used to live. I will look for it and maybe I can discover a new fruit. Thank you for the nice post.
Thanks for visiting and for nice comments.
We love the Santol fruit. I think it is called cotton fruit worldwide.
