LOS BANOS, Laguna — Did you know that the Philippines has its own castanias tree species?


The people in Quezon province call it talakatak, while in Nueva Vizcaya, it is simply castanias.

Scientifically named Catanopsis philippinensis and a member of the Fabaceae plant family, the local chestnut tree is similar in taste, color, and shape as that of the European variety (Castanea vulgaris).

Fresh and roasted Philippine castanias used to be readily available in the markets of Solano, Nueva Vizcaya and Quezon during December.
