Durian and Other Fruits For All Season

For real, fruits are part of everyone’s diet, fruits are served in every meals we take. 
During special occasions, like new years day, fruits are the first to be prepared. 



According to Wikpedia:

The durian (/ˈdjʊriən/)[4] is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio. The name Durio species, at least nine of which produce edible fruit.Durio zibethinus is the only species available in the international market: other species are sold in their local regions.
'durian' is derived from the Malay-Indonesian languages word for duri or "spike", a reference to the numerous spike protuberances of the fruit, together with the noun-building suffix -an. There are 30 recognised 
Regarded by many people in southeast Asia as the "king of fruits",[5] the durian is distinctive for its large size, strong odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk. The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimetres (12 in) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb). Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale yellow to red, depending on the species.
The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour that is strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as having a pleasantly sweet fragrance; others find the aroma overpowering and revolting. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage. The persistence of its odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in Southeast Asia.
The durian, native to Southeast Asia, has been known to the Western world for about 600 years. The nineteenth-century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace described its flesh as "a rich custard highly flavoured with almonds". The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and it is used to flavour a wide variety of savoury and sweet edibles in Southeast Asian cuisines. The seeds can also be eaten when cooked.
There are hundreds of durian cultivars; many consumers express preferences for specific cultivars, which fetch higher prices in the market.


Here in Davao, durian fruits are the most popular and the pride of the dabawenyos. 

For Us, Filipinos, we treat the coconut as the tree of life.


The Coconut Buco and its juice were very delicious to taste but before you can eat the fruit of coconut tree somebody must climb for you to take its fruits from its peak for about or more than 60 feet above the ground.
Upon climbing the coconut tree, thrill awaits at the top because you don’t know if there were animals and insects, such as flying squirrel, honey bee and snake waiting for the climber.  
Harvesting some fruits in the farms are very enjoyable experience.  
Like the Lansones fruit tree, my wife experience herself to get fruits by climbing to the top thru a bamboo made ladder. 


And also during the harvest of mango you will feel so amaze upon seeing the stockpiles of mangoes infront of you.

Fruits are serves in according to what you like to eat during your meals or occasions.

As Wikipedia Stated:
In botany, a fruit is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissues of the flower, one or more ovaries, and in some cases accessory tissues.
Fruits are the means by which these plants disseminate seeds. Many of them that bear edible fruits, in particular, have propagated with the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship as a means for seed dispersal and nutrition, respectively; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food.[1] Fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world'sagricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.
In common language usage, "fruit" normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures of a plant that are sweet or sour and edible in the raw state, such as apples, orangesgrapesstrawberriesbananas, and lemons. On the other hand, the botanical sense of "fruit" includes many structures that are not commonly called "fruits", such as bean pods, corn kernelswheat grains, and tomatoes.[2][3]
