I came across your page because i've been dying to get some of these fruits for a couple of years na. I am describing it to my collegues yet none of them seem to know what I am saying... My Lolo would get/buy me some once in a while whenever he and my Lola would go home to the province (Nueva Ecija) and i think the variety they usually get comes from the mountains of Dingalan, or from Sierra Madre. As a kid, i remembver having these with all my aunts and uncles, being the eldest grand child. when we moved to Manila, we rarely have it as it is quite hard to find, even from the famous Farmer's Market. We usually take it as it is, not "binuro", but my Lola would always say it is nice as well, but since we would eat them all up, wala na natitira for her to make as buro :) I am so glad to find it here as you posted... Yes, i agree with one of your friends who commented that littuko is sweet than sour, but like mangoes, you're jsut too unlucky to encounter the "sour" type... We had the same first-time encounter with the fruit though. My aunt tricked me by making me believe it is like macapuno candy lang, so, I ate the entire piece, and you can say it again "susmarya!"... My tears jsut involuntarily rolled down my cheeks! Back in high school, i took my revenge over my overly excited-unsuspecting classmate... she was even wondering why i had prepared iodized salt alongside the frui.I just said, "ganyan talaga kainin 'yan." (at least hindi naman ako masyado brutal to her taste buds) he he I also did the same to my husband, and they both cursed the fruit and vowed never to try it again no matter how I lure them that i found a sweeter type! You can compare the taste of this fruit to Yakult. At first it is sour, but as you drink it often,a nd gets accustomed to the taste, you will appreciate the sweetness masking its sourness... Hope this would somehow convince you to try the fruit again should you find some in the market! Thanks! -Vanessa Hi po!
