There's some in Humacao ( my hometown) they fried them in manteca( lard). Gives it such an amazing flavor. Thank you for putting Granitos on the map. It's such an amazing snack/breakfast

When I pass by a granos cart, if I can, I stop and buy some. They're so good!

The best kind of memories!!

In Caguas, we call them almojabanas. And the same family has been making them for about 80 years in Caguas. I remember Don Esteban and his cart of fresh almojabanas from when I was a kid from La Barriada Morales. Those and limber de crema were what I looked forward to the most. Only difference is I think Don Esteban made them with queso de papa, though I could be wrong about that.

Perdonen si me equivoco pero probé los granitos de Humacao y el sabor era delicioso, parecido al pega’o. Luego los hice con harina de arroz y nada que ver con aquel sabor. Entonces los empece a preparar con arroz cocido , huevo batido y un poco de mantequilla y a freírlos y me supo a granitos. Me parece que el que se hace con harina de arroz son las almojábanas.
