What Exactly Is A Tambis Fruit? (Answers)
WHAT IS A TAMBIS FRUIT? – The Philippines is home to a diverse array of trees and fruits that sometimes are only native to the country.
In this article, we are going to talk about the Tambis fruit and the closely related Makopa fruit. In English, the Tambis is called the “Watery Apple Fruit”, “Java Fruit” or “Java Rose Apple” according to an article from Steemit.
Previously, the Tambis and the Makopa were thought to be the same. However, this was not the case. The Tambis’ scientific name is the Zygium aquem. Meanwhile, the Makopa or the Malay apple has the scientific name Syzygium malacenssis.
The Tambis has a refreshing and sweet pulp. On the other hand, the Makopa is a bit denser and less tasty than the Tambis, however this would be subjective depending on the person.
This fruit also has a pinkish-red color with seeds being located in the upper part of the fruit. Meanwhile, the Makopa has a darker shade and the location of the fruit is slightly lower.
