About Binignit

Binignit is a traditional Filipino snack or dessert from the Visayas and Mindanao regions, made primarily of glutinous rice, coconut milk, and a mix of starchy root crops like taro, sweet potatoes, and purple yam. It also incorporates saba bananas, jackfruit, and chewy tapioca pearls for texture. Sweetened with sugar or muscovado, this hearty dish is cooked slowly until thickened, creating a rich, creamy stew bursting with tropical flavors. As a coconut milk-based treat, Binignit is a good source of healthy fats, fiber, and essential vitamins from its variety of fruits and vegetables. Its root crops and glutinous rice provide complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. However, its sugar content and caloric density may be a concern for those monitoring their intake. Best enjoyed in moderation, Binignit is a comforting and nutritious treat tied deeply to Filipino culinary traditions.
