About Ginataang sitaw and kalabasa with crabs

Ginataang Sitaw and Kalabasa with Crabs is a traditional Filipino dish that highlights the country's rich culinary heritage. This hearty recipe combines string beans (sitaw), squash (kalabasa), and succulent crabs, all simmered in a creamy coconut milk base infused with garlic, onions, and ginger. Packed with nutrients, the squash delivers an excellent source of beta-carotene, while the string beans provide fiber and essential vitamins like vitamin C and A. The crabs are a good source of lean protein, with omega-3 fatty acids that promote heart and brain health. Coconut milk adds richness and a dose of healthy fats, though moderation is key due to its high calorie content. This dish offers a flavorful balance of indulgence and nutrition, making it a staple in Filipino homes served with steamed rice for a satisfying, nutrient-packed meal.
