00:00Fruits are in season again this summer season.
00:05For Mito, who at first glance is color purple.
00:10Now, there's also a color like this.
00:14This is what it looks like. It's like gelatin.
00:19Miracle fruit that stands out in health benefits.
00:24And the new discovery of the Good News team.
00:27It looks like a grape, but it tastes like a pear.
00:31Let's eat these fruits here in the Good News.
00:38Here in a field in Oriental Mindoro,
00:42Mito is getting more and more fruitful.
00:46But this is not just a fruit.
00:50Because Mito here is color like this.
00:55This is called Abyo.
01:02Golden is Mito's favorite to cool down when hot.
01:09They mix it with ice and milk.
01:17Aside from being bigger, it tastes sweeter compared to Mito.
01:25Purple usually contains anthocyanins.
01:29These are phytonutrients or plant nutrients that will give you antioxidant properties.
01:35It comes out of our body to prevent the buildup of toxins.
01:41And somehow it cleanses our body.
01:43Yellow has carotenoids.
01:45This is a precursor for vitamin A.
01:48One of the main benefits of vitamin A is to have better vision.
01:51To prevent vitamin A deficiency, which is often related to eye conditions.
01:58The Good News that Golden brought to Mito is clear.
02:02Calabash fruit, which is said to be a miracle fruit, is also trending on social media.
02:09Calabash is said to be beneficial for health.
02:14Calabash is called a miracle fruit because it has many benefits for our overall health.
02:21Some studies have found that it is also anti-diabetic.
02:25It also has antioxidant properties.
02:27Calabash fruit also has an additional advantage.
02:30It is known to also have an anti-asthmatic effect.
02:34It is also said to strengthen the immune system.
02:37It is good against rheumatism, stomachache, headache, and toothache.
02:42Wow! It's a miracle!
02:43It's a miracle!
02:47The white inside of the fruit has a soft texture and it's delicious.
02:56But when it's cooked, it turns black.
03:05Its juice has a sweet and bitter taste that can be a refreshment.
03:11It is said that one of our hearts will be proven for the beneficial health of this fruit.
03:17Papa has rheumatism for a long time.
03:20When we made the juice of the miracle fruit, he drank it for a few days.
03:26Then, he said that his swelling was gone and it didn't hurt anymore.
03:31Just a reminder from the expert, the preparation of the miracle fruit must be correct.
03:37Parts of the calabash fruit is actually poisonous, like the pulp and the seed itself.
03:42So, the preparation of the calabash fruit as a juice must be meticulous.
03:47It should be cooked until dark purple to black.
03:53When it comes to unique fruits,
03:58here in Nueva Ecija, they also have a specialty.
04:02Grapes that are picked directly from the tree branch.
04:07Those are the Brazilian grapes.
04:09So, what does it taste like?
04:11Let's let the Metro workers taste it.
04:14It's a bit bitter.
04:16For us, it's still sweet and delicious.
04:18It's hard when you chew it.
04:21It's a bit sour.
04:24It's hard when you chew it.
04:28The taste is left, the sourness.
04:30Mark has good news for the whole Philippines.
04:34We are the largest producer of Brazilian grapes in the Philippines.
04:38It's not that much yet.
04:40Mark used to sell fruits.
04:43He used to pick up and sell.
04:45And now, he has his own farm.
04:48When I was young, I was already fond of fruits.
04:51I was also fond of planting.
04:53I was just selling until that day.
04:55I was just buying one or two boxes.
04:57Then, I would sell it in the market.
04:59He first learned about Brazilian grapes when he went to Taiwan.
05:04We bought the grapes from the Taiwanese.
05:07Now, I planted it in my farm.
05:10I planted 200 pieces.
05:11Then, I multiplied it.
05:13That's how I got the grapes to sell.
05:16Almost a decade has passed since he planted the Brazilian grape tree.
05:23It's already ripe.
05:25These fruits are already ripe in places where the climate is moderate to warm.
05:30That's why it's so popular among Mark's trees.
05:33But the best sellers are the seedlings.
05:38Seedlings are our priority.
05:39We grow the seeds.
05:41Then, we sell it to people.
05:43I just started.
05:45It's around Php 5,000.
05:47Now, Mark's farm earns up to six digits per month.
05:53Not only the fruits that grow on Mark's farm,
05:57but also his family's livelihood is also increasing.
06:03The trucks that we sell, the surplus Japan,
06:05I own a truck and a minivan.
06:09I have three farms in total.
06:12Six to seven hectares.
06:15I also planted those plants.
06:17Nanay Tess, this is the Brazilian grape.
06:22And because Brazilian grapes are blooming now,
06:25Mark has good news.
06:27He has free Brazilian grapes for his neighbors.
06:31Brazilian grapes always have fruits.
06:32It bears fruits four times a year.
06:34Then, when it blooms now,
06:37you can harvest it in three to four weeks.
06:40It's that fast.
06:42Brazilian grapes are rich in vitamin C,
06:45so it's good for the immune system.
06:47It also helps in digestion because of its rich dietary fiber.
06:52And here's another good news about this fruit.
