Believed to have originated in Indochina, near Cambodia or thereabouts, according to researchers at Purdue University, the Malay term for the fruit is “sentul,” hence our own name “santol” being is a close derivation. Santol (Sandoricum koetjape) belongs to the meliaceae family of trees, of which very few bear edible fruit. With a tough outer skin and unpalatable rind (I love it with salt!) heavy with tannins, it seems unlikely that the fleshy, creamy and fibrous pulp would yield a sweet and sour flavor and texture that you either learn to love or hate.
