Ampalaya with Egg is a popular Filipino dish that combines nutrient-rich bitter gourd (Ampalaya) with scrambled eggs for a simple yet flavorful meal. Bitter gourd, known for its distinct taste, is a powerhouse of vitamins A, C, and iron, along with antioxidants that support immune function and promote healthy skin. The eggs provide a good source of protein and essential nutrients like choline and riboflavin, making the dish both satisfying and nutritious. Commonly cooked with garlic, onions, and tomatoes, Ampalaya with Egg reflects the Filipino love for hearty and health-conscious meals. While bitter gourd is lauded for potential blood sugar regulation and overall wellness, its slightly bitter flavor can be an acquired taste. The dish is low in calories, making it ideal for weight-conscious diets, though moderation is advised if additional oil or salty seasonings are used in preparation.
