Almond-like galip nuts have reportedly been eaten in PNG for over 6,000 years, yet only in the last couple of decades has anyone built a packaged snack industry around them.
Galip nuts, cracked from the hard-shelled canarium tree, are dry-roasted and sold loose at Rabaul's market or packaged as a crunchy, almond-like snack by small East New Britain processors.
Why it's made this way: East New Britain has become the centre of PNG's push to turn a long-eaten traditional nut into a commercial industry, supporting more than a thousand smallholder growers who supply local processors and, increasingly, export markets.
