Waahh ... after so long I finally know also the name of the fruit that I always missed this every home to my grandmother's house in Kerinci regency. Yesterday I accidentally found it while searching in google and my eyes immediately shining to see it.
Do not be laughed at ya ... .. hehe ..., I really just know if the fruit that often me and my cousin rush even become a struggle when playing this grandmother's garden nameMURBEI. In the past, when I was still diligent keperpustakaan I often find the word Murbei and silkworms in the storybook that I read, unfortunately not a picture story book so I always imagine what kind of leaves mentioned as the sterling silkworm of this silkworm. * This is because in our place there is no cultivation Silkworm *
Actually I have known for a long time this fruit, often even target my game and the cousins since childhood. Everytime he went home to Kerinci, grandma never forgot to invite us to play in his garden ("The fields" we call them) filled with Cinnamon trees (casiavera). "(Oh yes ..., just information: Cinnamon bark is the main commodity of Kerinci regency community besides potato, chilli and cabbage)". The journey is usually passed by walking about 15 minutes with the field downhill and climbing the hill, I am used to living in swamp and peat often complain because of fatigue, but once there tired feeling that we felt immediately lost when treated to a stunning natural scenery with a stretch green forests and towering trees, and with the excitement of our hunt for wild-grown forest fruits begins ...
The fields of our grandmother and all the fields of our village community are surrounded by dense forests belonging to Kerinci Seblat National Park (TNKS) protected, therefore no one dared to cut down the existing trees even though they look old and fragile. But despite the jungle surroundings, the grandmother's own field looks clean and very neat by jejeran cinnamon trees and other supporting plants such as Coffee, Chilli, Potatoes, Peanuts, and others.
Among the plants, the grandmother is also diligent to plant fruits as sweetener garden such as passion fruit, Alpokat, Bengkoang, oranges, watermelon and others that bear fruit following the season, these fruits are often the target of our game in addition to plants wild that we find around fields that we do not know his name.
When we play and run here and there, we often find the fruits of the forest are very foreign but delicious and very sweet, we will shout excited when found among the grass or tucked between the plants Coffee or beans. And one that I often find is this mulberry tree whose height varies between 1-2 meters. The shape is round and oval with the color red and purple black. The taste of the fruit if that is still reddish green feels sweet, but if it is cook alias red or purple tastes good and very sweet.
Another name of mulberry is Morus alba L or Morus Indica L, also known by the name of kerto, kitau and kalo my emak, in kerinci this fruit is known by the name "fruit semuk" (bener not ya language? Hehee ....). This mulberry plant originally came from china and spread throughout the world where it is easy to grow in tropical and subtropical regions, and can grow well at an altitude of more than 100 mdpl and enough sun with a tree height up to 9-12 meters and diameter up to 0.5 cm.
And after I find info about this plant, in addition useful as silkworm feed was also very nutritious in maintaining health. Some of them are :
The fruit

Then it can help the immune system for the body because the mulberry has an alkaloid content rich in macrophages contained in white blood cells.

Murbei also contains many nutrients such as protein, vitamin C, vitamin K and fiber so delicious fruit for healthy snacks.
