MACOPA


There's a lot of stories behind theses fruits. Filipinos has a legendary story that they used to tell in their grandchildren. I have also read about the story and it takes time to tell. Macopa is a crunchy fruit about the size of a tomato. When unripe, it is pink in color. When ripe it is shiny red. Most notable is its bell-shape figure that inspired this myth on how this fruit came to be. This is also considered as the forgotten fruit of the tropical. Forgotten but delicious fruit and pride of the Philippines.
