Duwet (fruit)

As a child, around the early 1980s, I often hunted this unique duwet fruit in several places in Majalengka. Sometimes in people's gardens in the duchy. I mean it's not that Duwet's garden belongs to me, because my parents don't have one. As far as I remember, this duwet tree was not planted in a special garden, but was planted in other gardens, for example in mixed gardens with other plants: gedong mango, papaya and others. On average, this is the garden in the Majalengka duchy.

If you want more fun, you can hunt duwet fruit to Mount Panten in the Munjul area, Majalengka. We can climb Mount Panten starting from SD Munjul, there is a path to get there. Because the mountain is small, the climb takes no more than 2 hours. If you are on the mountain, you can clearly see the view of the city of Majalengka. Duwet fruit is very abundant with a distinctive fruit: a seductive blackish purple color.

Unfortunately, this duwet fruit cannot be enjoyed all the time. This fruit appears in season only 1-2 times a year.
