Do you eat ampalaya?  

yes i do..^_^ in fact i have cooked it last night for our dinner..ampalaya is delicious just do not focus on the bitter taste of it. vegetables really have good benefits for our body and it really helps a lot in our body..teach kids to eat vegetables in a very young age so that they will not be picky on what they will eat that's what my mom has done to us that is why we are all eating vegetables and Thank God we are all healthy..

OH yes I do especially if it is sauteed with veggies and egg Bitter gourd is good and healthy

Truly ampalaya is one of the nutritious foods available locally especially here in the Philippines. I love to eat it now but way back before, my father was really having tough time forcing me to eat that veggie. It was just bitter and nasty to my taste buds.


I am so happy I come to love amplaya because of it nutritional benefits; it cures a lot of illnesses particularly diabetic and hypertension, it has also a purifying element that's good for blood circulation and cleansing.


Let's all eat ampalaya and be healthy! Happy posting!

Yes you are right, there is nothing better than eating the fresh ampalaya. I love it also. I don't mind whatever is the preparation for as long as it is ampalaya then I would eat. I just wonder why some dislike the bitter taste when the health benefits are countless. Diabetics are getting cured by it and also here are some more benefits:

- Alleviate the symptoms of rheumatism and gout and ailments of the spleen and liver.
-It also is effective in helping lower the body's blood sugar and blood pressure levels.
- Helps to disinfect and heal cuts, wounds & burns
- Is useful as a cough & fever remedy
- Used in the treatment of intestinal worms and diarrhea
- Helps prevent some types of cancers
- Helps enhance the body's immune system to ward off infections
- Serves as an effective antioxidant, antibacterial & antipyretic agent

Have a good day!

The bitter gourd is known as paavakkai here in south india in our state. I too as a kid used to hate it but now knowing its benefits i have come to love it. My mil makes it as a tasty dish..
Can you share with me some simple recipe to cook it with egg. I would prefer it to be vegetarian with egg.. It is that i want my kid to get to like the vegetable. He does not like it the way we make it now ...

I don't think we have that around here (U.S.). It sounds interesting though and I love to try new and healthy foods.

HI misshoney, my friend, i donno what ampalaya is but as you have written it is bitter gourd then i love the veg. i love to eat it . i cook the veg in different ways . i make it stuff, chopped, fine chopped and fried. the one which is stuffed i love it the most. i can eat it without any rice or chappati (whole wheat bread).the one which is finely chopped and then deep fried is done so that small kids and many who dont like it because of their bitter flavour can eat it. because it is deep fried its bitterness is not felt that much and because they are very finely chopped that they are very crispy so people can enjoy eating them. it is a very good veggy to eat as it regulates the blood sugar level in one's body.
