Ampalaya Recipes

Ampalaya is gaining popularity as an herbal medicine for diabetes, yet this plant originally started as a vegetable that is meant to be cooked and eaten. Do you know that it is one of the most sought-after nutritious yet delicious green in the Asian diet?

While it is bitter in the raw, when properly prepared as a dish, this venerable Philippine vegetable can exude a really delectable dish one can enjoy on top of its health benefits.
