What Does Langsat Fruit Taste Like

---

SOUR when not fully ripe but sweet when ripe, reminds me of a bittersweet grapefruit. I’m not a fan of langsat (aka ‘lanzones’) - the seed is a bummer leaving not much room for flesh in each fruit - although they are fairly popular in Malaysia. The orb-shaped transculent fruits are cultivated all over southeast Asia and India.
While enquiring about langsat you might as well check out “duku langsat” — can be very sweet. Duku is a name in Malay (botanical family: Meliaceae). It is native to Malaysia but now grown in southeast Asia too. Duku belongs to the same family as the Langsat. The Langsat is also another favorite fruits in Malaysia that shares many similarities with Duku.
How to tell the difference between duku and langsat:
Duku – the fruit is round like a golf ball with a very hard thick skin. They don’t bruise easily, an unripe fruit is very sour! You can only eat it fresh when it is ripe, tastes tangy and sweet - it is a better fruit to eat than langsat. (Malaysia “Duku” do not have latex in the skin; “Longkong” is a Thai sterile cross between langsat and duku, without the latex).
Langsat – looks similar to duku (exterior) but are always sold on the stem (if they drop off they are no longer fresh, don’t buy the loose ones). The skin is much thinner than duku and langsat skin has a whitish latex, you need to open it properly (another reason why I dislike langsat).
