    I. INTRODUCTION

    Philippines as an agricultural country is known to be productive in various

    type of crops and plants such as rice, corn, sweet potatoes, sugarcane, bananas,

    pineapple, peanuts and many more. However, despite of this fact, Philippines in

    its present era is facing a challenge on food insecurity. Due to the prompt growth

    of population and land conversion, many farmlands were affected so as the

    production of food for the entire country. Along with this also is the sudden price

    hike of food products which some Filipinos can’t meet the expense anymore.

    This include the production of butter or peanut butter specifically.

    Knowing that Filipinos are fond of eating butter and most are making it as

    a stuffing on bread, Philippines is not actually rich when comes in the production

    of peanuts and butter. Therefore, to address this issue the researcher came up

    with a study of Kamansi seeds as an alternative butter for peanut butter.

    The researcher made use of Kamansi seeds for the reason that this plant

    is really abundant in the Philippines and is just similar to peanut. But Filipinos

    thought that its purpose as food is limited and not that useful. However, the

    researcher conducted a study for the Kamansi seed as an alternative for peanut

    as a butter.

    This study wanted to emphasize that in terms of food production, most of

    us tend to depend on what is common for all but there are still plants that we can

    actually utilize and develop as an alternative. By this, we can help prevent food

    scarcity.
    II. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

    Kamansi or Breadnut

    Kamansi also known as breadnut is a

    relative of breadfruit and jack fruit. The

    breadfruit has more pulp and small seeds

    while the Kamansi has bigger seeds and

    less pulp and just like the jack fruit, the

    seeds are edible and can be boiled or roasted and a good source of protein. The

    tree can grow up to 15 ft. (Maria, 2014).

    Benefits of Kamansi or Breadnut Seeds

    1. An exceptional source of energy. Kamansi or breadfruit seeds

    contain excellent amount of energy at 799 kJ. It’s means, kamansi can be a good

    replacement to more common source of energy i.e. beans, peanut, etc.

    2. It assists weight loss. Kamansi contains a lot of energy

    (approximately at 191 kcal). Kamansi seed provides you with enough protein.

    Protein is an important part in weight loss. You will need them to help burning the

    fat. Also, protein is important in building muscles. Normally, you will find many

    proteins in poultry meat, eggs, beef, and other farm animals, but kamansi seeds

    is a good alternative.
    3. Rich in fiber, makes kamansi seeds a healthy food for digestive

    system. Fiber-rich foods are important to maintain a healthy digestive system.

    It’s important due to its role in absorbing and extracting foods’ nutrients and

    liquids, as well as easing the passage of stool in anus. You can find many

    organic foods with high fiber, some popular choice are papaya, spinach, and

    potato. But, you should not overlook the details of kamansi seeds. These seeds

    also have respectable amount of fiber at 5.2 g per 100 g serving size.

    4. Maintain bones and teeth health & prevent osteoporosis as early

    as possible with kamansi seeds. These seeds contain rich amount of minerals

    (with more than 8 varieties of minerals, and potassium as the highest number,

    followed by calcium). Seeing that osteoporosis (and other rheumatic/bones

    diseases in general) is partially caused by calcium deficiency due to low calcium

    diet, a good diet with enough calcium is important. You can get it from eating

    kamansi seeds (Health Benefit Times, 2017).

    Cautions in Using Kamansi Seeds

    There is no significant case about Kamansi seeds. You can eat it safely.

    However, uncooked seeds should not be consumed raw because it is bitter in

    taste and might cause choke. People having health problems should consult the

    doctor for use (Rizalyahya, 2018).

    C. General Procedure

    First, prepare all the needed materials. The Kamansi seeds will then be

    clean thoroughly using water. The amount of seeds to be used may vary

    according to the desired consumption. Next, put the seeds into a casserole with

    estimated amount of water for the boiling process. Then let the seeds boil for at

    least 15 to 20 minutes until it is fully cooked. Once the seeds are finally cooked,

    separate it from the water and let it settle for about 5 minutes until it is not hot

    anymore. Then using a knife or a fork, peel all the seeds. Make sure that the
    skins of the seeds are totally removed and only the white portion of the seeds is

    left.

    After peeling all the seeds, prepare the sugar and the margarine. The

    amount of sugar and margarine may also vary to the amount of seeds. In a

    heated pan or casserole, cook the margarine and the sugar. Mixed them together

    until the margarine was melt totally into the sugar. Put the mixture into the cup.

    Using a blender, blend first the seeds completely. Then add the mixture of sugar

    and margarine. Blend them again until they are mixed wholly. Lastly, serve it or

    put it in a bottle for storage.

    IV. RECOMMENDATIONS

    With reference to the product outcome, the following recommendations

    are proposed:

    1) For the better taste of the butter you can add milk. But keep in mind that

    adding milk could make the butter rot for a short period of time.

    2) In preserving the butter, you may use honey rather that the margarine.
    3) For having the Kamansi seed butter as a stuffing for bread, blend the

    seeds completely.
