Tampoi Fruit


Local Name : Tampoi
Scientific Name : Baccaurea macrocarpa
Other Names : Baccaurea griffithii
Family : Phyllanthaceae
Explanation :
Baccaurea macrocarpa, also called Tampoi, is a small,
tropical rainforest sub storey fruit trees native to Southeast Asia, especially Borneo. It is delicious, and the female trees bear fruit directly on the trunk and large branches. The fruit is large, orange-skinned, white-fleshed, with a delicious tangy flavour somewhat like mandarin (tangerine). Depending on conditions, the fruit may closely clothe the trunk beautifully, like the fruit of many Ficus species.
