Turon
Traditionally, Filipinos would wrap thinly sliced saba bananas, and jackfruit in spring roll wrappers and deep fry them until they were golden and crispy, creating a dessert known as turon. As both a sweet and savory treat, it has become a common sight on city streets.
Turon is a Filipino delicacy that has been around for a very long time. Typically, saba bananas, jackfruit, and brown sugar are rolled up in spring roll wrappers and deep-fried to create Turon.
The “Turon with Langka” is a popular variant of Turon that replaces the usual jackfruit with young jackfruit (Lanka). Because of this, each Turon has its own distinctive sweet and slightly tart taste. As a second option, try “Turon with Ube Halaya,” which is filled with a sweet purple yam spread. It imparts a distinctive purple hue and a sweet, nutty flavor to the Turon.
The traditional way to eat turon is hot, either as a snack or a sweet treat. It’s a great way to sample authentic Filipino cuisine and is a crowd-pleaser among all age groups.
The preparation of Turon requires only a few straightforward steps, including slicing bananas and jackfruit, rolling the slices in spring roll wrappers, and deep frying them until they are golden brown. Anyone can make this dish in a short amount of time.
