Friends may wonder why this fruit is so hunted, especially for Lampung people in Kotabumi, North Lampung. The answer is that this fruit is very typical, the acidity is different from tamarind or tamarind, and with the acidity of the mango fruit when young, this fruit is considered suitable in making a typical Lampung chili mixture, Seruit. Like vegetables without salt, that is the parable of this sour and beetle fruit. With Asam beetles, the typical Lampung Sambal becomes more delicious and makes the sauce more delicious so that the appetite increases, so the people around Kotabumi, North Lampung, especially the indigenous people there are very idolized for this fruit. Well, friend, if you visit Kotabumi, North Lampung and at that time again the season of sour beetle fruit, there's no harm in tasting this fruit either when the fruit is ripe or when the fruit is made into a typical Lampung chili mixture.
