Can anyone help with Tagalog recipe ingredients, please???

Nangka, or Langka is the Tagalog translation of "Jackfruit". It is a large fruit. Its meat is yellow in color and its skin has "spines".

Pinipig are like rice crispies, they are usually added on desserts like Halu-Halo. Pinipig is actually immature glutinous rice that is harvested and pounded into what look more like light green flakes. The flakes are moist and redolent with a fragrance that is simply unique.

Were you planning to make halo-halo? Because if so, you can still have fine halo-halo without jackfruit or pinipig. You can have some leche flan in there, ice cream, ube (purple yam paste), the red beans, mung beans...yes, in the Philippines we put vegetables in our dessert =)

pinipig is close to rice crispies
