Taste buds nimo Grace mas muangay siguro anang imong i-bake, so you were given that special talent.

I like my ampalaya and radish bitter. Dire sa Japan very mild kaayo ang taste sa ampalaya and radish. Their radish is even so sweet I eat it as is, fresh and raw, just like I eat carrots, paprika and lettuce. I throw in a generous portion of ampalaya (sliced thinly) in pinakbet and bulanglang (my wife's Pangasinan influence). Yummy!

Bene san, gabuha bitaw ko'g ampalaya salad with radish, carrots and beets from our garden - gi improve nko tong suggestion before ni Bembem aka kiamoy.  Ganahan kaayo akong bana.  Ganahan pod ko sa salad except akong gipadaplin ang radish and ampalaya.

Ampalaya is the latest plant discovered to be medicinal. Let us eat ampalaya everyday.

THE LATEST ABOUT AMPALAYA


Is it really true that ampalaya tea and capsules are effective in lowering the blood sugar of diabetics? Are they really good substitutes for the anti-diabetic drugs that are available in the market? Does ampalaya have other medicinal properties? â€" Melchor R., Manila.

Ampalaya is the Tagalog name of Momordica charantia, a vine whose leaves and fleshy green fruits, although bitter, are integral ingredients of many Filipino dishes such as pinakbet and ginisang mungo. It is widely cultivated in the Philippines and goes by a variety of other names: Amargoso (Spanish & Aklanon), Apalia (Pampango), Palia (Ifugao), Paria (Bisayan region). In the west, ampalaya is known as bitter melon, bitter gourd, African cucumber, balsam pear or balsam apple.

In terms of nutritional contents, the fruits and leaves of the ampalaya are reportedly rich in minerals and vitamins, notably iron, calcium, phosphorus and Vit B. However, it is not known how much of these substances can actually be extracted and absorbed by the body’s digestive system from the leaves and fruits of the plant because there is a possibility that these substances exist in unabsorbable form.

In addition to simply being a source of nutrients, Philippine traditional medicine attributes many medicinal properties to ampalaya. Books and articles on Philippine medicinal plants list several diseases where ampalaya is apparently beneficial. Reportedly, the extract from the leaves or roots shrinks hemorrhoids. The leaf juice is supposedly a good antitussive (i.e., it stops cough), antipyretic (i.e., for fever), purgative and anthelmintic (i.e., against roundworms). It is also used to treat sterility in women and it can supposedly alleviate liver problems. Likewise, it is claimed that ampalaya has some antimicrobial activity and can help infected wounds. Lately, some reports further claim that ampalaya has substance Q and is of some value in the treatment of HIV/AIDS.

None of the above reported medicinal uses of ampalaya has been scientifically proven, although they have not been disproved, either. It’s just that the ampalaya has not been studied extensively enough.

There is, however, one disease â€" type 2 diabetes mellitus â€" where a substantial number of scientific studies using ampalaya leaves have already been undertaken. Results of these scientific studies that determine the effect of drinking ampalaya extract on blood sugar level of type 2 diabetics have consistently shown that ampalaya lowers blood sugar level. The effect on blood sugar of ampalaya is attributed to its content of momordicin, a substance that is sometimes called plant insulin. This is also the substance that is responsible for the bitter taste of plant’s leaves and fruits.

Evidently, ampalaya leaves have some blood sugar lowering effect among diabetics. This effect is noticeable regardless of how the leaves are prepared â€" boiled then eaten, or in the form of extract, tea, capsule or tablet. But diabetics should be cautioned against being overly enthusiastic in replacing their proprietary medicines with ampalaya teas, capsules or tablets. None of the studies so far conducted on ampalaya and diabetes can be labeled conclusive. All were done using a very limited number of human subjects, and most are not controlled.

In fact, according to DoH Secretary Manuel Dayrit, to date, "… no large clinical trial has yet been published on any type of preparation of Momordica charantia (ampalaya)." The manufacturers of ampalaya teas, capsules and tablets themselves are not claiming therapeutic benefits for their products. They market their preparations as supplements.

Ampalaya should be considered, at best, just an adjunct in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus that could possibly reduce the dose of antidiabetic drugs that responsive patients need. It should not be regarded as a stand-alone treatment that can take the place of established medicines.

Also, diabetics who wish to try ampalaya need not spend money on the tablet, capsule or tea forms of the plant. They can cultivate the plant or buy it from the market and make their own preparation.

To prepare ampalaya extract, the Department of Health (DoH) says the following steps should be followed:

Wash and finely chop leaves.
Add six tablespoons of the chopped leaves in two glasses of water.
Boil the mixture for 15 minutes in an uncovered pot.
Cool down and strain
Drink 1/3 cup of the solution 3x a day.
Alternately, ampalaya tops can be steamed and eaten (1/2 cup 2x a day).

magasamok samok sa ko ha?

You can take Ampalaya Plus and Enduranz at the same time.  There are no other components in Ampalaya Plus and Enduranz inside the capsule that are not plant origin. Ampalaya Plus contain Ampalaya fruit (without the seeds), Banaba and Luyang Dilaw; these are synergistic to optmize the food supplement, helpful in controlling blood sugar coupled with diet and exercise. Enduranz contain Tongkat Ali, Malunggay, Banaba and Gotu Kola, again, to optimize to enhance vitality and physical endurance aside from the effect of “unlocking” the testosterone that is bound with globulin in the blood. Note therefore that testosterone is present in the body but most is unused or unavailable, tongkat ali release the bound testosterone, making it useful, both for stamina, sexual experience and physical development of muscles. It can assist in those people involved in sports and body building.

We do not recommend diabetics to stop their medications, but rather improve their condition using Ampalaya Plus capsule food supplement. Diabetics should monitor their blood sugar levels in both fasting state and 2 hours after meals at least once a week during the initial take of Ampalaya Plus. Monitorig should be for about 3 months to determine if anti-diabetic medications can be reduced. Monitoring for HA1C or glycosilated hemoglobin, which is a marker of diabetic state should also be done 2x a year or at least yearly. Remember that weight control is a key factor in diabetes. Overweight individuals need to reduce weight through exercise and diet management for effective control of diabetes. There is no cure for diabetes but you can contol it in order to live a good quality of life

daghang gyud og ikahatag ning ampalaya sa lawas na. it`s one of my favorites. sugbaon, sagolan og itlog ug uban pa.

Ang ampalaya karon nga baligya sa palengke, polluted na kaayo sa mga insecticide.
Diri sa amo ng lugar, adunay dako -dako nga farm sa amplaya. Wala silay spray sa
insecticide, tuslo-tuslo ang gigamit nila nga paagi. Ang chemical nga gihalo sa tubig
ilang gisolod sa kabo ug ilang gituslo-tuslo ang mga gagmay nga ampalay nga
nangumbitay. Mao  ne ang gitawag ug immersion process.

Let us plant and grow our own ampalaya plants. Pagka one inch long na ang bunga,
atong baloton ug cellopene o papel. Its easy to grow amplaya without chemical.

sir felix, ug gituslo tuslo sa water na may halong chemicals, mas grabe pa to sa spray.

hiloan na diay ta ani...

tanang natong gikaon karon may chemicals naman mao di na ta pareha kalig-on ug lawas sa mga katiguwangan sa una.

Pareha ra sa spray ang mixture sa chemical, pero mas economy .

Ampalaya con Karne


Ingredients:
¼ kilo lean pork, cut into strips
ampalaya, cut length-wise, de-seed, then cut diagonally into strips
5-6 tbsp of crushed garlic
1 large onion, sliced
1 large tomato, chopped
soy sauce
1 tsp corn starch
salt and pepper

Combine 5 tbsp of soy sauce, a little salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the pork strips to coat and marinate for 30 minutes or more. In another bowl, mix 1/2 cup of water with a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, cornstarch and about 3 tbsp of soy sauce. Mix well and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan over medium to high heat. Throw in the pork strips and stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add little oil to the pan and heat again. Stir-fry garlic until aromatic. Add in the onion and tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are mashed and juicy. Pour 1/2 cup of water and bring to boil. Adjust the taste with salt if necessary. Add the ampalaya slices and simmer without stirring until crisp-tender. Do not overcook. Scoop out the ampalaya slices and arranged in a platter. Return the cooked pork plus the reserved marinade mixture to the pan. Mix thoroughly and cook for about 30 seconds or until the sauce thickens. Pour over the ampalaya slices. Serve hot.

Not really. I don't know if we already have it in Bohol Langgam but here in Manila there are specified sections in the Supermarket where you can buy organic food and vegetables.

By the way, in Balay sa Humay in Batuan town, they sell organic rice from its neighboring town Carmen.

I think someone also mentioned here in TB that organic farming is/was practice/d in La Hacienda, Alicia.

Duna diri naggamit ug organic fertilizer sama sa chicken dung, carabao manure and other wastes sa iyang home garden. Tambok kaayo ng mga gulay pero dili sila mokaon kay hugawan sila sa mga wastes.  For market na lang ang ilang gulay.

Based on study, the most nutritious part of the ampalaya plants are the leaves.
The young leaves (udlot) can be a substitute for malunggay leaves for cooking
any vegetable dish especially 'tinunuan'. The leaves are made into Ampalaya
Plus capsule.

To lessen the bitter taste of the ampalaya fruit for cooking any recipe, remove or

sir felix, dili na man namu i-boil ang ampalaya. dili pud namu butangan ug vetsin. bombay nuon idugang sa imung lista sa ingredients pwede pud.

Pwede ra pud ug dili i-boil. Kon ako ang mag-amdan, akong bubuan ug pinabukal nga  tubig ang ampalaya.  Vetsin is optional.

favorite na sa akong kuya ang knilaw nga ampalaya sagulan ginamos humot baya pud.. dili naman sya muapit. try te grace! hehe

I did this na bya, Tita, but okay, for the sake of sportsmanship (unsay connection kaha? hahaha), I will try again.  Maayo pa akong bana kay when I told him that palija is good for diabetes, kaon jud sya bisan pait. 

God bless grace!
