About Biko

Biko is a beloved Filipino dessert made of glutinous rice, coconut milk, and brown sugar, often topped with coconut curds or latik. Originating from the Philippines, this sticky rice delicacy is a staple in festive gatherings and celebrations. Rich in flavor, Biko is a source of carbohydrates, providing energy, but is relatively high in sugar and calories due to the brown sugar and coconut milk. While the coconut milk contributes small amounts of healthy fats, it is also high in saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation. Biko does not usually contain artificial additives, making it a simpler, natural treat compared to processed desserts. However, it lacks significant protein or fiber, which are essential for balanced nutrition. Enjoyed in moderation, Biko offers a delightful glimpse into Filipino culinary traditions without compromising a varied and healthy diet.
