A Favorite Asian Vegetable

A common table vegetable, Asian mothers often chide their children to eat dishes prepared from the Ampalaya so they grow up strong and healthy. And no wonder. The Ampalaya fruit has long been held in high regard as being rich in iron, beta-carotene and other nutrients that help boost the body’s immune system. Properly prepared, the Ampalaya fruits and leaves exude a flavor all its own, enhancing many favorite Asian dishes.
