The first and last time I had kasuy fruit was in CDO at age seven. I think I got one that wasn’t quite ripe yet as it made my lips turn red and very, very itchy. I don’t think I have the courage (yet) to try again. But those nuts? Yes please!

Hi MM, the last time I ate a fresh kasuy fruit was more than a decade back, but I can still remember how it tastes. One new info I learned from some of my friends from Batangas is that that talbos (shoots) of the Kasuy tree is also edible. They said they eat it like talbos ng kamote or sayote, so Im thinking its blanched/steamed the served with a sawsawan. Never really got the chance to try this or even ask around if this is indeed true or I was at the end of a gastronomic joke.

the fruits are delicious. Palawan cashews may be smaller but more flavorful..

Can somebody tell why a multitude of the flowers didn’t get germinated? It is a pity to see a kasoy fruit hanging alone from it’s “pungkit”. They should be “kumpol-kumpol”.

They make a confection out of casuy pulp that’s similar to fruit leather in Brazil and I was so intrigued I had to taste it and I shall never forget the experience. It was that moving.

For kasuy lovers, cutting the flesh in cubes, shaking them in a jar with salt and eating them by the moundfuls is simply heaven. Nevermind what happens on the john the next day or the day after that or even the day after that!

My, MM, you have shrunk! Please do not get carried away. You look just fine! Are you trying to get back to your varsity days size? Some think it obscene when a guy your age don’t have even a little bit of a paunch to show.

Thanks, MM. Learned something new today. This is the first time I’ve seen a picture of a cashew nut still hanging from the tree. Now I understood the Tagalog riddle on kasoy-prinsesang nakaupo sa tasa!!!

Wow, I didn’t know cashews grew like that and I didn’t know it grew in the PI. I did notice something else, the results of your diet…I’ve never seen you so lean in your pictures before. : )
