we grew up in batangas. my cousins from aklan used to tell me about how good using the batuan than the kamias in sinigang. this is the first time i’ve seen the pictures of batuan.

Back in the province my mom always use batuan whenever she cooks nilaga. I just don’t know why we don’t have batuan here in manila? whenever i’m in the province i always ask our helper to buy batuan for me so i could bring it back to manila. I loved the taste and the aroma of batuan that is why i always use it everytime i cook nilaga and paksiw na isda. If i no longer have a stock of batuan i replace it with kamias instead.

I just had my vacation few days ago and had a chance to visit Aklan. My gf lives there and that is where i come to know about this batuan. we had it with fish and pork sinigang, and it gives a different taste, better than with kalamansi and sampalok ( as per my taste bud ). The tree also grows in bicol region but we dont use of the fruit, we use the leaves as a souring agent for pork and beef sinigang especially buto – buto and of course the ” laing ” where bicol is known.. I manage to bring few kilos to bicol and had it introduce to some folks…

I am looking for katuray, kadios and batuan seedlings or grafts but don’t know how and where to obtain them. I am from Zamboanga City. Anyone here, please, who can give me information?

Evelyn, how do you go about grafting it? And how are you able to grow it from seed? I tried unsuccessfully.
