Hi Olive

I am from Montreal, Quebec and a woman I work with gave me a jar of macapuno strings. I didn’t know what to do with it because it is not a common item here in Quebec. I just wanted to let you know I loved your oatmeal cake, the walnut topping was just fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!!

Hi Wizzy :)

Macapuno is a variety of coconut palm they are similar but not the same. It’s like what a banana is to a plantain.
Macapuno is very soft and tender and sweet, it is also called coconut sport.

Let me know how it goes when you try it :)

This is something for my to make file. Just to confirm Macapuno is coconut right? Such original recipes on this site.
