I have about a dozen that are slowly turning yellow. Thanks in advance.

A jarring way to remind us that Ber months are upon us.

The shortage of macapuno might be attributed to cocolisap (or coconut scale insects). Our relatives used to come to us for macapuno but sadly most of our trees have died due to a different pest, the coconut rhinoceros beetle. :(

Would appreciate some tips on where to go for some quality, artisan native crafts when we visit late Oct./early Nov. I thought MM had an article about a good bazaar during the Christmas season. Thanks.

I knew there were spice dealers in Divi, just hadn’t gotten desperate enough to make a trip just to get kasubha. Will do that soon… since we could use a few kilos more…

Hope this helps.

I’ve tasted it before in NJ made by my sister’s then-housemate.
