Introduction Philippines, being a tropical country, has many abundant raw materials. One of these is the winged bean which is commonly known as sigarilyas.
Abstract Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) has higher protein content than soy bean (Glycine max) and potato (Solanum tuberosum Linnaeus). Amino acid analysis showed that winged bean contained all amino acids in sufficient quantity, with the exception of the sulphur-containing amino acids. The amino acid content of immature pods was generally lower, and the non-protein nitrogen content higher. The seed showed a high content of hemagglutinins. Hemagglutinins are agents that cause agglutination (the clumping of cells such as bacteria or red blood cells in the presence of an antibody) of red blood cells. They include antibodies, blood group antigens, lectins, autoimmune factors, bacterial, viral, or parasitic blood agglutinins, etc.
Objectives
To introduce how winged bean can benefit the human body.
To inform that there are different raw materials that can be used to make an improved product.
To promote that winged beans are alternative source of protein which is much cheaper than potato and soybean.
Materials:
3 cups of sticky rice flour (malagkit)
1 1/2cups of water
1 small Grated coconut
1 cup of Sugar
1/2 cup of mashed winged beans
Procedure:
Combine rice flour, water and mashed winged beans.
Blend thoroughly.
With floured hands, shape dough into egg-size ovals or you can make your own shape to be more creative.
Flatten with thumb.
Drop palitaw in 2 cups boiling water.
Scoop out with skimmer as soon as they float.
Roll in grated coconut.
Serve at once with sugar.
Now you have El Frijol Alado ala Palitaw.
Enjoy!!!
