yuck kadiri hindi masarap
By: nicole on September 7, 2008
at 9:53 pm
Nicole,
Di ba masarap? Gulay kasi yan eh. Sa susunod na lang siguro, konting malunggay na lang ang ilagay mo. Ang malunggay kasi meron siyang distinct taste and aroma. Wag masyado madami ilagay para di siya mahalata. Ang purpose naman natin kasi sa pagsahog ng malunggay dito e para lang ma fortify ang food na usually kulang sa nutrients.
Try ka uli ng iba pang recipe. Thanks.

By: mark montarde on January 25, 2011
at 9:05 am
Neleh,
This is what you should do. Choose a cake recipe then you just add malunggay. You choose whether you will use fresh malunggay, malunggay pulp or malunggay powder (procedure in this blog). You also decide how much malunggay you’re going to mix with your cake recipe. Don’t put so much.
You may try the malunggay muffin recipe. It is in this blog. Good luck.

mabilis kasi maubos yung pastillas sa amin kaya di na inaabot ng pag ka sira. siguo mga three days pero dapat mag experiment ka para malaman mo talaga.

ang galing talaga… me tanim kaming malunggay at ang alam ko lang ay pansahog sa gulay lang ang alam ko. try ko lahat ung mga recipe bka magustuhan ng mga officemates ko kc they are taking moringa tablets.
By: Rhona on December 14, 2008
at 12:03 pm
Rona,
Salamat sa pag istambay saglit sa blog corner ko. Ang palagi kong ginagawa kung may bisita kami ay patikimin ko sila ng malunggay muffin. I found out that using cake flour is better than using all purpose flour. Saka mas masarap at maganda ang quality pag virgin coconut oil ang ginagamit ko, instead of ordinary margarine.
Merry christmas na lang sa inyo lahat jan.

parang extender yon. Kasi mahal at masyadong matamis naman kung madaming condensed milk.

It is supposed to be a nutritious dessert to some people. To some, snacks. We just added some nutritious ingredient so we don’t have to burden our bodies with too much sugar.

Gud day! ito po bang 2 cups na malunggay na isasama sa kamote ay di na po dudurugin or hatiin when mixed with other ingredients?
Ang malunggay tea po ba ay pwedeng gawin na parang C2 or Nestea na available commercially?May expiration po ba ito or nilalagyan po ba ito ng mixture para tumagal ang shelflife?
By: ka roger on October 16, 2009
at 11:37 am
nasa sa iyo yan ka roger kung dudurugin mo pa ang malunggay for pastillas. pero I suggest medyo, ligisin mo na rin kasi para medyo smooth siya pag kinain na.
Yung second question mo, yan di ko masasagot. maganda siguro, medyo experiment muna tayo para malaman. Sana naman pag me result ka na, ma i share mo rin dito sa amin.
Salamat

By: hazel on December 10, 2009
at 6:36 pm
well, you may try it by adding pounded malunggay leaves. Dikdikin mo lang sa almires kasi para natural juice lang ang masasahog. Pag kasi blender ang ginamit mo, kelangan mo pang lagyan ng water.
good luck
