In your list at least almonds and walnuts are grown in Phils too, but I believe rather uncommon. I mean compared to the common :)

 

How about OTHER nuts and berries? E g cashew nuts are rather commonly grown in Phils  = Cost much less than imported stuff.

 

I have forgot where, but somewhere in the south half of Luzon, in the mountains they have profesional growing of "sapirit"  = same/similar as wild raspberries.

Cashews are a weakness for me and the rasberries sound great also. Hope I can source them at markets when the time comes.

Cashews are easy to come by in the Philippines.

Well by the time I got here you guys already answered all his questions ..... I would say Healthy Options also ..... I sure miss the one in Cebu .....

 

Earthdome mentioned cranberries and Ayala supermarket here in Bacolod has them ..... might check an Ayala near you ....

Mike---There is a healthy options store at SM City Cebu that I go to for a lot of great things especially imported organic mayonaise:) Not sure where the one you were familiar with used to be.

I think that in Rizal province/Antipolo there are a lot of cashews grown. Not sure about walnuts though.

Healthy Options, Rustan's and SM Hypermarket sells those great Red Mill products. and sometimes dried cranberries. I've also seen large bags of almonds and walnuts at S&R, but they were more than I was willing to spend:)

Very expensive too unless you buy them raw from the wholesaler. At a store, you get about 10 pieces in a bag for 50p.

That does sound expensive!  We've only ever bought them in Antipolo and Palawan, where we know that they are very freshly harvested and roasted.

Good news Mike--that is the store that I go to, and it's still open. Who knows--maybe for a time they had closed for some reason? But that is the one I go to. Now you can go back:)
