The Pili nut (Canarium ovatum), is one of 600 species in the family Burseraceae, is native to the Philippines and is abundant and wild in southern Luzon (bicol region), and in parts of Visayas and Mindanao. The most important product from pili is the kernel. When raw, it resembles the flavor of roasted pumpkin seed, and when roasted, its mild, nutty flavor and tender-crispy texture is superior to that of the almond. Pili kernel is also used in chocolate, ice cream, and baked goods. The largest buyers of pili nuts are in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the kernel is one of the major ingredients in one type of the famous Chinese festive desserts known as the "moon cake".
It is a famous "pasalubong"(souvenir) and is available locally as plain dried nut, as Ice Crea, as caramelized candy, as a nougat and my favorite, as a candy.
Available everywhere here in Legaspi and price of Pili candy is 60 pesos a pack.

 Market somewhere in Legaspi
city by kylian74
The early morning view of the open market along our way in Legaspi. No much people yet at 7 a.m, I think we are a bit early to see this market with more people on the move. Leave a Comment

If you are coming from the LCC Dept Store, exit @ the supermarket side (Penaranda Street), then turn left, around 2 blocks away is the church. It is also facing a small park near Bichara Cinema.
Penaranda is the main road you will pass if you are going to Tabaco, Tiwi, coming from Legaspi city center.
Another church as well is the Albay Cathedral, its in between Daraga and Legaspi, its on the busy-Daraga- Legaspi route. Near the capitol and Divine World College.
