Fruits and Veggies Monday - Local Produce from my Village

Hello everyone, Its another wonderful #fruitsandveggiesmonday initiated by a fantastic steemian @lenasveganliving.

I am not going to share a recipe today for a change, instead i will introduce you to some exotic fresh from southeast asia.

My parents brought me some local produce in our village from the Philippines all the way to Dubai, UAE. My parents will stay with me for a while to help me get through until i recovered from my surgery.

Here are some of the fruits and vegetables they brought

This is a type of yam. We usually boiled it for snack or breakfast. Its low in sugar, its filling and very tasty.

Philippine Banana plantain, this type of banana are usually for cooking, it is best to make banana fritters or springroll banana. My favourite way is to boil it, and really its delicious.

These is our native sweet potato, we have different colors of sweet potatoes in the philippines such as yellow, purple and white.

Rambutan - a southeast asian fruits, a weird looking monster ball with a similar taste to lychee. This delicious fruit is on season now in the Philippines.

Moringa - The superfood

This is an edible flower that can be added in any vegetable dish.

Please correct me if i am wrong, but i think this called a snake vegetable. It is usually added to vegetable stew and soup.

Its like snowpeas but its not. Its is thicker and harder than a snowpeas.

I was delighted to have them all again as they are not common where we live. They are versatile vegetable and is on season in the philippines.

I was lucky to have them taste again, i needed them for my fast recovery from surgery (cessarian operation) and to enhance my milk production.

Thank you so much @lenasveganliving for this opportunity to showcase different kinds of vegetables and fruits from all over the world and to consume good food.
