With its crispness and slight tartness lacking the aftertaste of acridness, these native tambis are definitely not the same as the larger variety of their species.
The taste is sour but on the light side that only needs a pinch of salt to balance the sourness. This makes the fruits excellent for salads and garnishings.
In Bulusan, these fruits are seen around June and July strung neatly in fresh coconut midribs for sale in sari-sari stores and in front of houses with the fruiting tree. The trees are widely distributed and are still sighted in some backyards in the Poblacion.
