Filipino Blogging Day #18: Atis

Atis is a fruit native to tropical Americans and is a common fruit grown in the Philippines, Pakistan, and India. It may seem really gross with its bumpy green skin, black spots and all, but it is really quite good! It's one of my favorite fruits. Atis, when ripe, is soft and can be opened very easily with your hands. Inside, you would see white, chewy fruit flesh surrounding numerous seeds. There is not much meat inside one atis because it is mostly composed of seeds. It is a little more tiring to eat than other fruits because you have to eat around the seed.

NOTE: I recommend you don't eat atis fruit one seed at a time, or else it's going to take you a billion years to eat one. (I'm just exaggerating)
