Living
in the tropics means we have classic go-to fruits for every season. What’s even
better is that we can enjoy them year-round, come rain or come shine. Looking
for specialty fruits per region is also an exciting adventure, because the
Philippines seems to have as many fruits as it does regions.

Year-round
fruits are a constant delight, and in this area, the banana leads the pack. Whether
you like the Lakatan, Saba, or Señorita, it is great as is ripe, or sugared with
ice and milk. Legend has it that the first banana tree grew somewhere in
Mindanao, and came from the heart of a young maiden who refused to marry
someone she did not love.
Speaking
of hearts, the reigning queen of these fruits is the strawberry, which grows in
abundance up north, primarily in Baguio. Enjoyed as is or as a perfect
complement to cream, strawberries are a popular dessert for romantic occasions.

How
to enjoy these two fruits coming from either end of the Philippines? By biting
into the new Strawberry-Banana variant of Dunkin’ Donuts. Combining the smooth creaminess
of yellow bananas and the luscious burst of red strawberries, this flavor is
sure to delight the senses, without having to travel north and south for your
fix.
Joining
the strawberry up north is the lemon, which, although native to Asia, was
transplanted to the Philippines through the Europeans. Available in summer in
high altitude areas such as Tagaytay and Benguet, these yellow wonders are
becoming fast staples in local dishes. To enjoy its full glory without the accompanying
tartness, get a Lemon Dunkin’ Donuts fruity donut instead. It contains all the
tangy goodness without the sharp bite.

But
for the king of Philippine fruits, there are two that vie for the crown. Most
obvious is the durian, considered the king of fruits in Asia. With a
distinctive taste to match its smell, it is an acquired taste that many have
come to know and love. But perhaps it is the ubiquitous mango, available
everywhere, but most sweet in Zambales, Pangasinan, and Guimaras that takes the
crown, it being the national fruit. So why not enjoy the two in an amazing
combo of a Mango-Durian donut?
All
varieties of the Dunkin’ Donuts Fruity Donuts, namely, Banana-Strawberry, Lemon,
and Mango-Durian, are available for only P20. Now it’s easy for you to enjoy
your favorite fruits regardless of the season, and your location, at your
favorite Dunkin’ Donut branch.
