Hello, warriors!

Fithack

Who among you have tried eating MARANG? I'm sure most of my Filipino steemit friends are familiar with this fruit.

Known for its funky smell, marang or Artocarpus Odoratissimus has gained its popularity in the Philippines especially in the Mindanao area.

This fruit comes from the family of jackfruit and breadfruit. It has soft spiky cover and its flesh is a bunch of white cottony meat. It is basically round to oblong in shape and has a green to yellowish cover.

I used to believe that this fruit smells terrible as I could ever imagine... Like the durian. But I was wrong. It's been a while since my boyfriend told me to taste durian and marang. But hell no! I could not stand the smell alone. How much more its taste? Or so I thought.

Last night, my mom brought home marang. As I enter the dining area, I could smell a slight foul odor. But I ignored it. Not until I opened our refrigerator. What then there!!! Lol! It worked like a bomb, ya know!

But what made me decide to eat it? Well, I just want to experience eating it without someone noticing my 😲 expression. I could be very funny, I know.

For once I have tasted marang. Yes, I won't be left out.

This thought on my mind kept pushing me to do it so there is something I could brag about with friends.

Yes. There. I can do this!

I slowly picked the meat and pinched my nose so I could not smell it as I am about to poison myself. Lol!

The moment it landed on my mouth I was like...

OMG!!! THIS IS HEAVEN

It tastes so sweet and so soft. It is chewy and juicy too! How come I've missed this my whole life??? True enough, never judge something or someone thru impression. Otherwise you'll miss something worthy.

Marang is now one of my favorite fruits! It's a must try, I tell you!
