The Dayak of Central Kalimantan called this edible plant "mesisin".
Grows in poor land, mostly at sandy area where the topsoil already gone.
Few weeks ago, i met with researchers from Wageningen University, Holland.
They told me about their finding, once we open a peat swamp forest (the most common forest in my area) 60cm of peat gone.
After that 5cm of surface will gone, unfortunately Central Kalimantan is almost flat, means that during rainy season, water everwhere.
A kilograms of this fruit has value about a 75cents American currency.
We use this fruit as part of training to our orphan baby orangutans to learn about wild fruit during their rehabilitation process.
It has taste like nearly ripe guava
Warmest regards from Borneo
