My wife and I were in Farmers Market this morning and we stumbled upon lanzones! Imagine, lanzones in January. We tasted and tasted until we found a bunch that tasted really fantastic.
The seller said the lanzones came from Camuigin. His sources say that after the terrible typhoon last year, all of a sudden by the end of this year the lanzones started blooming and fruiting again!
Ah nature. Making up for the lost reproductive opportunity last year. There was a lanzones shortage last year due to the big typhoon. I don’t know how long this mini bloom will last. The lanzones we got came in at P 120 / kilo. Expensive, but not that exorbitant yet.
