rimas is grown extensively in batangas along the coast…in bauan and lobo….it is called rimas or dalungyan in tagalog it can also be steamed and pounded with young coconut milk and butter just like ” nilupak” na kamoteng kahoy or saging na saba!!!! my cousins in the states carves for candied rimas! oh so yummy!!! its out of season now though it’ll start to flower at the onset of summer…..sarap!!!

We in sri lanka this is a common fruit. Good for break fast, chunks cut and boiled with little salt, eat with grated coconut or sambol made out of coconut, onions, maldifish, lime and salt. tasty. Also we cook adding coconut milk, curry leaves, salt then temper with mustard and garlic. tasty when the gravy is really thick. ideal with rice or bread.

Marketman, thanks for the information that breadfruit is rimas in tagalog because when my Jamaican brother-in-law visited the Philippines he told me he saw a breadfruit tree on our way to the province and I had to ask him to describe the fruit to me. All the while I thought it was kamansi. Now, when the brod-in-law comes to visit I’ll know what to serve him..hehehe..
