Malunggay is a staple and a common vegetable here in the Philippines especially in the rural areas. This vegetable is said to be rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron and Vitamins A,B and C. It was also said to be good for people with Diabetes because it lowers blood glucose levels as well as a good Nutritional support for breastfeeding Mothers.
I like this veggie a lot because of its bitterish yet savory taste.
How about you, Have you eaten this veggie before?
God Bless fellas..Have a Good Day!

Interesting. I've not heard of such an amazing veggie! I would be curious if we had that here in the US and how to prepare it. As I worry about all the diabetes in our families that I would love something that would keep those sugars in check even before diagnosis of Diabetes in out household.

I didn't know if this veggie grows in your country or not, but we can always have a substitute or an alternative for this to lower blood glucose levels, like the Ampalaya, there had been some studies conducted here in my country and by some countries that proves its efficiency in lowering blood glucose levels in cases like Diabetes Mellitus.

I eat Malunggay! And I can vouch for its awesomeness in terms of making one's immune system really strong. I could only say good things about its effect on the health. I wonder what other countries have it in their backyards.
