Patola: Health Benefits - Dr. Gary Sy

A common vegetable in the Philippines, patola is the the unripe fruit of the plant having the scientific name Luffa acutangula. It is sometimes called “silk squash” or “ribbed loofah” or “sponge gourd” in English. Patola is more than just one of the vegetables mentioned in "Buhay Kubo". It is rich in vitamin A, which can help prevent macular degeneration or blurring of eyesight. It also has vitamin B5, which lowers bad cholesterol and triglycerides that can cause heart disease.

Hi po doc.Gary Sy

[@ricogeniobarba569]

One of my favorites--shrimp (or kahit na bagoong isda lor patis), oil, water, saluyot, talong, okra, malunggay, patola, and salt. Put water in pan (kaldero), add a little oil, add salt and /or patis (or bagoong na isda), bring to a boil, add thinly sliced squash, let boil for half minute:, add shrimp (if there is), boil for half minute, then add thinly sliced talong; then after one minute of boiling, add okra; let boil 1 minute more; then add saluyot, let boil for one minute; then add thinly sliced patola, let boil half minute only, then add malunggay, and let boil one minute. Put off fire. Then serve immediately. Please take note: always put some oil so that the body can use the vitamin A. Without oil, the body cannot use Vitamin A. You can skip the patis or bagoong and even shrimp if there is none. Or you can use dried hipon in place of shrimp. You can omit any of the vegetables, or use sigarilyas or sitaw, in place of the other veggies. You can substitute camote (tuber) for squash. If you wish, you can also add onion and garlic to add more nutrients. Masarap and very nutritious ito. Avoid vetsin, and the Magic Sarap, and the cubes. I am 68, without any health issues, and without maintenance!

[@osiepecana1530]
