BRUNEI CHERRY

General Info – Brunei Cherry, Kundong, Asam aur aur, Entelang, Gandis, Kedundong

An ultra-tropical Garcinia native to Malaysia and Indonesia, the Brunei Cherry is a unique, sour fruit highly cherished in Borneo. Brunei Cherries are exclusively suited to tropical climates, struggling to thrive outside such regions and requiring perfect drainage and abundant rainfall. The Cherry-sized red fruits possess a thin, inedible skin that envelops the succulent flesh, akin to other Garcinia varieties like the Purple Mangosteen.
The taste of ripe Brunei Cherries mirrors that of other Garcinia fruits, offering a delightful blend of tartness and sweetness that is especially enjoyable when consumed fresh. Additionally, when still unripe, these fruits contribute a sour flavor to dishes and can be utilized in their dried form.
