Malunggay fruit pods

One of my favorite — #Malunggay fruit. These are green pods of Moringa oleifera tree. The pods are packed with vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, calcium, and iron. They offer a healthy dose of fiber to support good digestion. They contain helpful plant compounds like flavonoids and phenolic acids that fight cell damage. The antioxidants in the pods help lower inflammation, which may lower the risk of chronic conditions like arthritis and heart disease. Fiber and active compounds help maintain stable blood sugar levels. Cook it paksiw style or adobo. 😋💓👍
