    I believe ketchup was introduced to the Philippines during one of the wars, when the Americans left there were no tomatoes so they made it from bananas.

    We use shrimp paste in both ripe and green mangoes especially when we make ensalada, a mango salad with red onion and tomatoes

    No bagoong (fermented shrimp) is for the mango na hilaw (unripe) only to complement the sourness

    Those mangoes are from Mexico, with thicker skin and has an after taste. Mangoes grown in the Philippines have thinner skin and no after taste at all.

    it's popularly said to have originated in World War II, when American soldiers brought tomato ketchup to the Philippines. Since tomatoes were hard to find at the time but bananas were plentiful, Filipino locals adapted it to a banana version.

    We grew up in San Diego then retired to Missouri. Yes, it's way cheaper, but there's no Seafood City. I miss that store so much!! Especially the hot bakery, and the hot deli which are absolutely outstanding!

    The banana flour is actually the flower that is on the banana tree. The green or raw jackfruit is the one where u can cook it and it is like a meat substitiute. The ripe sweet one you eat it like a fruit just the yellow parts so good!

    Sweet plantains is considered an everyday snack and very common. Can be cooked into a variety of different things. Not just turon. There is maruya (tagalog name not to be confused with the bisaya maruya), bananacue, ginangang (grilled), fritters (pinaypay because it is shaped like a fan), and boiled.

    Taro is added as vegetable for sinigang...to make it soupy and creamy; we do plant melon or cantaloupe, jicama or singkamas both endemic in the Philippines both can be both eaten with Bagoong or shrimp paste just like ripe mangoes...while banana blossoms is added to other dishes that calls for it. Purefoods is the brand we use for Sopas and Pinoy Spaghetti...

    Those bananas you bought are for cooking. They are better when the are ripe. They can be boiled with or without the peel , or fried. I like them peeled and sliced then wrapped in egg roll wrappers and fried ( turon)😋

    Some of the jarred fruits you’re showing are also used for pinoy fruit salad, so not all of those are for halo halo, don’t forget the beans! It’s condensed milk for halo halo. Also the ube ice cream and leche flan topping, so yummy to eat rn during this heat wave!

      Evaporated milk for halo halo. In halo halo places, they would have sugar on your table so you can adjust the sweetness.
