We have two kinds, the native (smaller) and the Bangkok santol (bigger and sweeter). Funny though, Bangkok santol is home grown. Or maybe the seedlings originally came from Thailand. The flesh can also be grated, peeled and preserved for use as souring ingredients for sinigang, another Filipino delicacy (sour soup with fish or chicken), or as plain side dish for rice.Nowadays, santol is concocted into candies, juice, and other preservatives. I hope not as coffee. I have too much of durian already. :-)All the best, Jojie The Santol fruit is very delicious, particularly the bigger ones.
