Kamote tops

[hofelina]

The leaves or so-called “kamote tops” are a good source of vitamins A, B and C, iron, calcium and phosphorus. The tubers (roots) are high in carbohydrates and are mainly starch. Kamote tops are very often eaten as local salad. Wash the vegetable well before eating. It can be eaten raw or just immerse in boiling water quickly and drain; mix it with tomatoes and onions with little soy sauce and lemon juice (kalamansi"

Here are just a few of the diseases it can help: heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, bowel problems, irritable bowel syndrome, various cancers of the bowel (mouth, stomach, and colon cancers), kidney stones, and many more. Eating vegetables can also fight obesity. Vegetables are excellent filler foods because they’re low in fat, low in calories, and high in fiber. As you can see from our list, steamed or sauteed vegetables with garlic, tomatoes, and onions are very healthy indeed."



Ma-o ba kini ang ganas sa ato?

Have you heared about camote tops as cure against dengue? Here is the recipe;

Camote tops are boiled in water to extract the juice. The boiling lasts
for about five minutes. A little salt is used to give flavor to it. The
patient is made to drink slowly and gradually. The body's immunity system is
thus revived, making dengue helpless against the body's natural defenses.
Camote enables the body to heal itself.

Have you heared about this joke;
Go home and plant camote!

Planting and eating camote is no joke anymore.

Manay Tess,

I love camote tops, and all other veggie tops like kalabasa tops, sayote tops, etc. Sawsaw lang sa ginamos o bagoong. My children's tutor in Tagbilaran used to prepare a delicious salad of calamote tops (with tomato, vinegar, calamansi, etc.)

I learned to eat leafy veggies from my wife and in-laws in Pangasinan. In-ani diay ni ka nutritious?

[Raquelproud boholana]

Excited na ko mokatay nig daghan akong kamote sa garden.Mahala ug ghay or ganas diri oi hehehhe bitaw tulo ra ka punuan sa kamote ahong gitanum kay tag 4 dollar kapin ang usa ka punuan akong buhaton ani inig molabong na ni ako ning putlan then itanon napud ang pinutol nga ganas.

[hofelina]

I posted these humble vegetables to refresh your minds how nutrional they are and also very cheap. They can be cultivated in our small backyards just as what we did during the time of our "katiguwangans".
Ben, imong misis taga Pangasinan, kugihan ug maayo sila sa kusina. Mahilig sila molota ug mga gulay nga kaugalingon tinanom, ako naka-uyo-an ug taga San Nicolas, Pangasinan.

A Loonanon who used to work at the World Bank taught me to use kamote leaves, not just "ga'ay", to replace gabi leaves when preparing "laing". Lami kaayo. Dili mailhan nga dahon sa kamote diay. You can try this Raqz.

[bol-anon nga cebuano]

sige ko kilaw ani almost every weekend. ganahan ta ko adlaw-adlawon pero murag dili mada.

[Koddi Prudente]

Aron matilok gyud ang mga maayong sangkap nga makuha sa ga'ay, you can steam the leaves, ayaw pabukali, until ready na for salad preparation. Then kadtong tubig nga masangga himoa nga drink, pwede with tea, or butangan lang og gamayng sugar ug lemonsito. Refreshing drink jud nuon. 

[hofelina]

Koddi, this is interesting, I will try next time, salamat jamo.

Kods, I steamed my ga'ay but never thought of utilizing the water in steaming the guy.  hmmm, interesting!

One time, I attended a Pinoy party here.  Ga bitbit ko'g ga'ay salad, nah gi simhutan lang kay di man gud common na pagkaon sa mga parties dire.  Maayo unta mo tubo na ning akong kamote gitanom aron naa na pod ko kamote tops straight from my garden.

[benelynne]

More recipes please...

[grazie7y]

Bene san, here's how I do my kamote top salad:

Steam bunch of kamote tops. If you prefer not to use steamer, just boil water (or you can cheat for better flavor, use clear chicken broth  ), season with salt and pepper and dump bunch of kamote tops.  Put the lid on and let steam just enough to wilt the leaves. 

Meanwhile, mix half and half mixture of vinegar and lemon/kalamansi juice (or you can use all vinegar or all lemon/kalamansi juice, whichever you prefer), finely diced tomatoes, ginger and scallions, soy sauce or salt and pepper to taste.  Mix the wilted kamote tops.  Serve warm.  To kick it up a notch, you can drizzle olive oil and or sesame oil.  Yum!

Thanks, Ging. Can't wait to try this on my next homecoming. Search tawon kog image sa scallion. Mao ba nang dahon nga sibuyas?

akong recipe lang kaayo.
mga lamas:
sibuyas bombay, luy-a, kamatis ug sibuyas dahonan. sliced into small sizes and mixed in a bowl.
pour in enough quantity of vinegar then add seasoning, salt and a little drops of MSG. add the camote tops then mix well. and presto, pwede na kan-on with newly cook rice or with kinilaw nga fish.

dili na nako i-steam or lagaon ang camote tops. mag-init ra ko ug tubig then pabukalon for 3-5 mins. after ana, ako rang i-dip ang mga camote tops.
