Looking for fruit Matoa on the weekends
Hi everyone. On this weekend morning, I did the same as my usual days. weekends are the best days to wake up late to gather all my strength before doing all the homework. After waking up around nine in the morning, I started to make the bed, clean my room, wash dirty clothes, wash dirty dishes to clean the beds of my little cats. Yep I do it every day and it only finishes until 12 noon and it's very tiring.
In the afternoon I took the matoa fruit that was around my campus with some of my friends. On the previous Thursday, we also took some, but on this Sunday we took more because on weekends usually there are only a few people at the campus so we can focus on picking up the matoa fruit. There are many matoa trees planted around the campus, more precisely matoa trees are planted around the campus area and anyone can pick them up.
Actually, I'm not too familiar with this fruit, I just knew this fruit for the last few years. In recent years in my hometown, there has been no such thing as matoa fruit until the last few years matoa has begun to spread and many have planted it in the yard of the house.
Little do I know that this matoa fruit is a unique fruit originating from Papua, Indonesia, and has now spread to the island of Sumatra. Matoa has a chewy fruit texture that is runny like rambutan but has a taste that is difficult to describe. Like a mixture of several fruits such as lychee with a little durian flavor, rambutan fruit and some are like a mixture of longan. The redder or ripe the fruit is, the more flavorful it will taste.
We started picking fruit around four in the afternoon until half-past six. It's a little difficult to pick the fruit because the matoa fruit is at the top and covered in lush leaves. I was planning to climb the tree but there were lots of ants on the leaves. So we took them using poles.
Actually, there are still many trees bearing fruit, but only the backside has trees that are not too tall, so it will be easier to pick.
The initial intention was only to take the matoa, but one of my friends found an old cassava trunk and tried to pull it out. These cassava stems thrive among the bushes at the ends of fields. Only a few trees but they got so much cassava. There may be about 5 to 6 kilograms of cassava obtained. The plan is that the cassava will be fried and eaten together on Tuesday.
After finishing taking the matoa fruit and pulling out the cassava, we went back to our homes and shared the results of the matoa fruit that we got. Haha, at first just wanted to take matoa but when we got home we brought lots of cassava. This is a fun thing for boarding house people because we really like free stuff without having to buy it.

The truth is that I have no idea about the fruit, but here in Venezuela there is a very similar one, we call it ''Jobo''. It can be eaten green and its flavor is bitter like the green mango, but when it ripens it tastes a little sweeter. I don't know if we are talking about the same fruit (I don't think so) but just to name a similar one.
I really like the pictures, they are very beautiful. Thank you very much for sharing this article. Blessings!

Hi, thanks for stopping by. I think it's a different fruit. Matoa is a sweet juicy fruit, with a chewy flesh. if it's the same fruit, i think in my country it's called by the name "Kedondong" it has prickly seeds. and yes, it is delicious when eaten green but it is even better when made into sweets.
I love so much this fruit! Can you send to my city? :)

I enjoyed reading your post. You took some nice photos of all the fruit and trees. I’ve never heard of this fruit until reading this. Now I’m curious to actually taste some. Wow they are so high up. I wouldn’t have climbed the tree full of ants either. 😄
Thank you. It's nice to be able to share in the community. I also just found out about this fruit a few years ago. I wish I could send you some to try. 😁
It's actually easier with climbing, but I don't want to get itchy just because of that.
You’re welcome!
Oh that would be awesome if you could. 😋😄
That matoa tree has been harvested about hundred times since 2011 maybe haha
nice post bayu.
Ahh I see. It's been quite a while. Btw I want to thank those who planted it, so now we can take it for free, haha
