I’m a bit surprised about the praises heeped on langka despite some critics out there. The critics include the smell asociated with it. But all the same Langka is a great fruit. In my country Uganda people in the rural settings are utilising it to rid themselves of poverty.We want to know more about the possibility of preservation apart from the mentioned. We also want to know the other products associated with langka what about foreign markets and commercial farming?

I just hate how they seem to attract all the flies in the neighborhood.

Oh! You can boil the seeds by the way and put sugar so it’ll have some flavor. :)

I was gonna mention that you can eat the seeds, but I see that somebody has already pointed that out. :)

I agree Marketman! A lot of people love langka. We had a whole fruit a week ago. I planned to cook it into postre, for tart fillings. An hour or so later, I noticed most of it was eaten. ;-)

Oh gosh, bugsybee, I remember those langka popsicles and I liked them too. What a nostalgia trip. Well, beside Magnolia selling out to nestle then having a five year non-compete clause that has now expired so magnolia is back…I am not sure why they dropped it. Seems there are tons of langka lovers out there!

We get our langka from Pampanga. My lol has small trees but their fruits are way big, sometimes almost reaching to the ground. The seeds can be eaten. Just dry ’em up, roast them and that’s it. Just remove the skin of the seed and it’s eaten just like any other nut. Kinda tastes like kastanyas though you don’t get the “drunk” feeling from langka seeds.

We also make dried langka here in Negros, but not the crunchy variety although it’s delicious.
Magnolia used to have a nangka-flavored popsicle and I enjoyed that more than the choco and orange flavors. I wonder why they don’t do it anymore.
