Description

Culture

Comments and Curiosities

Yantok is a fruit that is not as popular as mangoes and bananas. This exotic fruit is from a vine locally called “yantok” (a variety of rattan) found in jungle forest areas but it is now actually raised in small plantations for commercial sale. It is one of the sourest fruits in the world. You will not like the acidic taste of yantok the first time you taste it, but one thing is sure, you’ll crave for its unusual taste later. These fruits are available in the market from August to October.

Edible rattan Calamus manillensis, is also included in almost all woodlots. Rattan is integrated in woodlots for its edible fruits and poles/canes for handicraft. The Ifugaos have been using ANR quite successfully without professional intervention for many years. Activities in the muyung include thinning, cleaning, pruning and salvage cutting. These activities are done to enhance the growth and development of natural stands.
