Nature brought us different food to eat. We just need to know them.
I haven't seen and tasted this before until my husband brought some of it home. It wasn't even familiar to me and at the first glance I thought it wasn't edible for human. I thought only bird were eating it in the jungle.
I haven't seen this tree or fruit anywhere here in our place. It is not common and even my siblings and friends don't know about it. When I show them the pictures, they asked what is it? what its taste like?
My husband loves to bring food as a gift for our son when he came from work. It is either bread or fruits. When my husband came, our son will always ask if he has something for him. So, my husband always try to have 0ppp to bring home.
Last Sunday, he brought this fruit and not only the fruit but a bundle of fruits with some leaves. My son is so happy seeing it. It is like a grape. I was amazed by it because they are so good to see in bunch. I'm glad to see its different color, from green, to brown, to purple-like color.
My husband told us that the green is the unripe fruit, the brown is almost ripe and the purple-like is the ripe one. It is bests when the fruit will fall itself from the bunch because it means it is really ripe.
He really brought even those unripe ones so we could see its look. He even brought a bunch with leaves too and its leaves is so big and a heart-like.
He let my son pick those ripe ones. I then wash it to remove some insects in it.
This is ready to eat and my son loves it. It is sweet in taste and it smells like a wine when it is over riped but when it is not yet ripe it taste like a banana which is not that ripe too.
My husband said that this fruit is a help in times of stomach pain or diarrhea because it will act like a banana who will help lessen the bowel movement.
What is its name?
We ask him what is it's name. He said it is ubas de mar as he pronounced it. I then search it in the internet to check if he was right and the search engine gave a result for uvas de mar.
Uvas de mar shows the same fruit and I can say it is its name but I also wonder because it also shows another plant from the sea.
I also learned that it is also called as sea grape because it is like a grapes or baygrapes. It's binomial name is Coccoloba uvifera.
It was a fruit discovery sunday as I and my son discovered another fruit that exists in this place. It can be found in the workplace of my husband.
Since I am curious about how that tree looks like I texted my husband while he was at work and I asked him to ask favor from his workmate to send me a picture of its tree. Fortunately one of his workmate send me these pictures.
It is not too big or too tall, just enough to give some shades to a field worker who wanted to rest from a scorching heat of the sun. It is also known to grow in the seaside thats why one of its common name is seagrape.
I hope you also learn something and discover this amazing fruit.

I've never heard about this fruit. They look like little apples. 😊 Maka curious, unsay lasa ani? 😁
They look like grapes sis @labanez. It is sweet when fully ripe, then aplod sya like saging if not yet ripe.
It looks like sinegwelas of you're familiar with that fruit ate @jenthoughts, maliit lang leaves nun.
Malaki yun sis @missellimac. This one is small like grapes.. Are you not familiar with this too? Rare sya ano? Kahit ako di ko yan kilala noon hehehe. Atleast now may nadagdag na sa mga fruits na kilala ko.
Thanks for the visit sis.
now ko lang nakita yan ate jen, but thanks for sharing this one ate. hehe
Woahhhh I've never tasted this fruit po and ngayun kolang siya actually nakilala yan pala ang ubas hehe ang cute naman and i like the color. And cute din ng smile ni baby jan yiehhhhh
Not an ubas sis @faithamore. Di mo rin to kilala? I can considered it rare here in South Cotabato or might be in Philippines. Di ito masyadong kilala or nakikita.. We'll see if how many knows this fruit. Bago ko lang din ito nakilala hehehe.
Hahahah hay nako diko nga kilala anu ba kasi yan pero feeling ko matamis siya kasi yung kulay niya ehh nakaka excite naman makatikim ng ganyan
Sea grapes yan sis.. matamis if fully ripe na..
Oh yes, uvas is grapes in Spanish, so uvas de mar is sea grapes :)
Jam can be also made of it!
de mar means sea in spanish? grapes is ubas in our language, Filipinos have some words from spanish. So, we can made jam from it? That's another discovery. Thanks for the visit @mipiano
yes, mar is sea. and uvas son grapes :D
it is a very similar word, just one letter of difference but it is almost pronounced in the same way :)
I haven't seen this fruit once but it looks like grape. Maybe it's another specie of grape. If I was there, I would have tasted it because I like trying new things
Yes it is almost similar to grapes as its name is sea grapes. You don't have this too in your place @kingsleyy?
Thanks for the visit. Yes, its good to try new things
Sea grapes, it sounds good.
I haven't seen this in my part of the world
This is my first time knowing of a fruit like this and its name too. Your son quite enjoyed the fruit too and I wonder how it would taste in my mouth. Though you said it tastes like wine when it's riped and like banana when it's not ripe and I won't be surprised if it cures stomach ache too since there are fruits like that.
That was a beautiful discovery on a Sunday for you and your son.
This fruit is really rear as many hivers doesn't know this fruit too. Yes, it is indeed a great discovery and good thing my son loves it.
Thanks for your time @princessbusayo.
Hello friend, first time I see and hear this fruit, also has a rather strange shape and a unique color, also that joy and happiness have had the opportunity to try it and share it with us, I'll look for it in the area where I live, to see if they know it, greetings.
Oh really? Almost all of us seen and heard it for the first time, this fruit is indeed rear. Hopefully you can find this fruit in your place. It is said that this is common in sea side as it names implies sea grapes. Thanks for your time @davidpena21
Abi kog bugnay sis ,pero murag dagko man hihi ,karon pako ka kita ana ba.
It's not really common sis @mitch18, dili jud sya common diri sa Pilipinas. Hopefully you can find atleast one tree sa inyong place so you can try and taste it.
Wow. Ka thoughtful sa imo hubby sis. Lami tan awon ang fruit.
Always jud na sya magdala ug pasalubong basta naa lay madala hehehe. Nice jud mura jud ug grapes sis @murakaamiiii.
Wow, my first impression was that it was little apples 🍏, thank God for write ups like this, because I have never seen such this is a very nice 👌 discovery. Keep the good work up ma👏🙌.
Im not familiar with this and thinking that this one is rare so i decided to share it here.
Thanks for reading @myles22.
Well then thanks for sharing 👍.
Wut? This is actually the first time that I saw this. It really looks like grapes. Sana hiniwa mo tas patingin kamo ano hitsura ng loob, seedless ba?
Oh sorry sis @ruffatotmeee. I cannot slice it because it has a big seed inside, kunti lang makain mo. Parang santol na malaki ang buto at kunti lang ang makain mo hehehe...
Hello, it's my first time here, I found you. I just knew that this was an edible fruit. Para Lang syang grapes pala.
I'm not familiar with this one ate and thanks to this I learned something again.
Now that I saw this, I'm curious now how it taste like.
What a rare tree that bears a rare fruit.😊
It is really rear because in our place i haven't seen this too, parang andoon lang sya sa workplace ng husband ko. It usually grows daw sa tabi ng dagat kaya sea grapes ang tawag sa kanya.
Matamis like grapes when fully ripe but if not mapakla sya like not fully ripe banana
ahh good to know this one ate baka in the future maencounter ko ito hihi
