Looking for fresh duhat? Here you’ll find duhat, also called lomboy, from local farmers and sellers in the Philippines. Compare the listings, check the price per kilo and message the seller directly.
Duhat (Syzygium cumini) is a small, dark purple fruit with juicy flesh and a sweet, slightly sour taste. In the Visayas and Ilocos it’s called lomboy. In English it’s known as Java plum or black plum. It’s famous for turning your tongue purple.
Duhat is a summer fruit. The season usually runs from around April to July, but it depends on the area and the weather. Check the listings or message the seller for availability.
Color: deep purple to almost black means ripe and sweet. Reddish fruit is still sour.
Skin: look for plump, shiny fruit with no wrinkles or leaks.
Feel: ripe duhat is slightly soft but not mushy.
Wash the fruit and eat it fresh. The classic Filipino way is to shake it with a little salt in a covered container. Duhat is also made into juice, jam and wine. It bruises easily and only keeps for a few days, so store it in the fridge and eat it soon.
On FarmyHub, duhat is currently listed at about ₱140 per kilo (October 2026). Prices depend on the season, the size of the fruit and the seller, so check the unit and price on each listing.
FarmyHub is the marketplace, not the fruit vendor. Every listing, price and photo comes from the seller. FarmyHub doesn’t grow, store or inspect the fruit. Duhat spoils fast, so before you pay, message the seller to confirm how fresh it is, when it was picked, and how and when they can deliver or meet for pickup.
