Medicinal plants and herbs grown in the Mabinay upland barangays. In Mabinay, the karst interior town on the cross-island road, all caves and upland farms. Kakanin are made at barangay level and sold in the market and by roadside vendors — puto, biko, bibingka, budbud, suman. Here they’re morning food rather than dessert, eaten with sikwate or native coffee. Go early; the good ones sell out before the market quietens.
