The Malunggay










Just last night my husband and I watched the show "Kapuso Jessica Soho". It is a Filipino televesion talk show hosted by GMA channel 7.

The malunggay is a kind of leafy vegetable that will grow easily in our backyard.It was discovered in South Korondal Cotabato that this plant has variety of uses. In fact teachers and villagers there used this to solve malnutrition problems to their children.They have to "laswa" or boil the leaves for soup purposes. They also used it as one of the ingredients of their puto or native cake or delicay and the result was great.The leaves of malunggay was used also ni making some tea and capsules for medication for different illness and the price is very much affordable.
