Pili nut is a popular native variety of nuts in the Philippines. It is a tropical tree which is abundant in the Bicol region. The fruit, has thin, shiny skin that turns purplish black when ripe.
Some bikolanos steamed the ripe pili fruit in a lukewarm water to soften the pulp. It is edible and often served with soysauce or bagoong (fish sauce) and match it with any viands for lunch or dinner.
Pili Nut
The pili nut kernel is the most important part of the fruit. When eaten raw, it is crispy and milky. But the usual concoction of the pili nut can be roasted, fried,or coated with sugar. It is a popular "pasalubong" of bikolanos.
A number of processed pili products are currently available in local markets - pili tarts, roasted nuts, sugar coated, fried, pili candies, and other baked products with pili nuts on top.
This blog site aims to promote Bicol's natural sceneries and also to support the economic activities and resources of Bicol SME's, both private and public sector.
