Second time getting these Love these sontol so much.
Aishafaria38
This was my first time trying this Southeast Asian fruit, and I now understand why it's not widely available globally. It's not very economically valuable. There's very little flesh around the white seeds, and the seeds stick to it. The pink flesh around the edges tastes a bit like guava. It's delicious, and I'd like to try it fresh sometime.
