My mom made sure that there was duman starting November. She would buy from the old lady who would bring duman to our house in an antique looking open basket and the green young rice covered with banana leaves all fresh and green. Even then the duman was a priceless commodity. Thanks for bringing back the memories. Dear Lori,
