Home-Based Food Business Idea: Recipe for Mouth-Watering Halo-Halo

Considered as one of the best refreshing desserts in the country, halo-halo is a combination of various ingredients like boiled sweet beans, makapuno, sago, tubers, fruits as well as shaved ice and evaporated milk.

Many Filipinos commonly sell halo-halo during summer season for extra income. But since the well-loved Pinoy dessert is craved all year round, many businessmen have found fortune in such kind of business.
