Suman is a traditional Filipino delicacy made from glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk and salt, wrapped in banana or palm leaves, and then steamed or boiled until firm and fragrant. With origins across various regions, especially in Laguna, Leyte, and Bicol, suman is commonly eaten for breakfast or merienda, often served with sugar, latik (coconut caramel), or ripe mangoes. Its portability, subtle flavor, and festive wrapping make it a beloved offering at both home kitchens and town fiestas.

Common variations include Suman sa Lihiya (with lye and coconut topping), Suman Moron (chocolate version from Visayas), and Suman sa Ibos (wrapped in buri palm leaves).
