Kwentong Passion Fruit (Masaprola / Masap)
This local passion fruit invaded this part of the yard. The fruit is green now but will turn violet when ripe. The taste is sour but will turn a little sweet when ripe.
I used to sell this and the American passion fruit (orange shell when ripe and taste is sweet) when I was in Grade 4/5. I would climb up the trees and gather the ripe ones. My mother would tie them together and bring them to the coop (hello, Balacbac Multi-purpose coop) for the storekeeper to sell. We sold the local fruit for 25 cents each and the American passion fruit for 50 cents each. The local is smaller than the American hence the pricing.
The biggest sale that I can remember is around 40-50 pesos which is already big those days. That amount can sustain our 1 month fare since 1.50 lang one way for us 3 kasi...kandong isang kapatid, tatayo isang kapatid hihi. Salamat uncle drivers for your an anos and generosity! And thank you to those who bought our goodies! 😂😂😂
