I grew up in a neighborhood where people plant their vegetables and eat everything edible in it. I was e(posed to the number o 'talbos' or sprouts li!e talbos ng !amote (sweet potato sprouts), talbos ng sitaw(string beans sprouts), talbos ng !alabasa (squash sprouts) and so on and so ort. 'hese are +ust the popular ones and those I !now o . 'here are even green lea y vegetables in our local mar!et whose names I cannot say or I don't !now them. ,o you see, there are so many! -ot to mention the tree leaves we eat li!e dahon ng sampalo! (young tamarind leaves) and the
amous malunggay or moringa leaves. .or my irst entry (if ever I'll have a second) or /greenlove, I chose to give a particular attention to malunggay. %oringa, according to 'rees .or "i e International, is a gold mine o nutrients. Pac!ed with vitamins and nutrients, these leaves are considered super ood! ,upplements, delicacies and even beauty products being produced using this as the main component says it all, don't they0
%oringa leaves can be eaten raw or in this case, coo!ed. %oringa is slightly bitter in taste, +ust a hint o it. 1ccording to some articles I have read, taste and te(ture is similar to collard greens, spinach and !ale. I cannot say or sure or I have not eaten or even seen collard greens and !ale (actual or in person)but I am con ident about spinach, they are 2uite similar. I you are loo!ing or alternative or moringa, spinach is the closest as ar as my 'ingredient !nowledge' is concerned *wink*. 'his soup is pac!ed not only with nutrients but with childhood memories as well. %y grandmother, being the grandma or 'lola' that she is, would always want her grandchildren to eat vegetables and she accomplishes her goal whenever she ma!es this dish. %y cousins and I would dig in, pour it over rice and inishes our ood in no time!
