As the dry season intensifies, Cebu’s markets are filled with abundant and affordable summer fruits, according to local vendors. In Carbon Public Market, fruits like watermelon, papaya, avocado, and bananas become more plentiful in May, leading to lower prices and increased availability. Vendors say these fruits thrive in hot weather, with watermelon offering refreshment, while papaya and bananas remain staple choices for everyday consumption. Mangoes, a top summer favorite, reach peak sweetness during this season and are widely enjoyed fresh or in desserts and shakes. Other fruits like pineapple, santol, and jackfruit also flourish, making summer a time not just of heat but of rich and sweet harvests.
