Who makes it

How it’s made

  1. Start with macapuno strings cooked in syrup, or make your own from macapuno nuts.
  2. Use them in balls, rolls, cakes, ice cream or as toppings.
  3. Pack and label as real macapuno.

Who buys it

Pasalubong shops, bakeries, dessert shops, cafés, hotels and Filipino stores abroad.

Rules to know

FDA License to Operate and product registration for packed products; local permits for shops. Requirements change, so confirm with the agency before you start selling.

Where it’s made in the Philippines

Bakers and dessert makers everywhere; supply comes mainly from Laguna, Quezon and other macapuno growing areas.

How to start small

Real macapuno costs more than ordinary young coconut, so say so on the label: buyers will pay for it.
