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.
