Kepel fruit or Burahol (Stelechocarpus burahol) is a fruit that is the flora of the identity of the Yogyakarta Special Region. The Kepel tree is a favorite of the princesses of the palace in Java, besides having a philosophical value as a symbol of unity and mental and physical integrity, this kepel fruit is also believed to have various properties for beauty. Kepel fruit has become a deodorant (deodorizing body) for the palace daughters. Unfortunately, because of that, ordinary people do not dare to plant these trees so they become scarce. The reputation of this kepel fruit as a plant in the palace made ordinary people on the island of Java in the past reluctant to plant it. In the days of the colonial era people believed that only people who were strong were born inward and capable of imitating the lifestyle of the royal family. People who are not strong enough. The belief at that time was that only officials at the appropriate level of dukuh were strong and born physically imitating the behavior of the royal family.
