FIL: Ang mga buto ng pakwan na pinatuyo, nilagyan ng asin, at sinangag upang kainin bilang isang uri ng kutkutin.
EN: salted watermelon seeds (snack)
The OG Filipino finger food snack. Before chips, there was `butong-pakwan`. It's a test of patience and skill: you have to crack the shell with your teeth just right to get the tiny seed inside. The perfect snack for long chismis sessions.
Compound word from 'buto' (seed) and 'pakwan' (watermelon).
Refers specifically to the dried and salted seeds sold as a snack, not just any raw watermelon seed.
