About Ham hock and munggo beans

Ham hock and munggo beans is a hearty dish rooted in Filipino cuisine, showcasing the fusion of savory and nutrient-packed ingredients. The ham hock, a smoked pork knuckle, adds rich flavor and a tender, meaty texture, while munggo beans bring a nutty taste, an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals such as folate and iron. Often simmered together with garlic, onion, tomatoes, and leafy greens like spinach or moringa, the dish combines robust flavors with wholesome nutrients. Munggo beans support heart health and aid digestion, while the greens provide antioxidants and vitamins. However, the ham hock can be high in sodium and saturated fats, so portion moderation is key for balanced nutrition. This comforting dish reflects traditional Filipino ingenuity in creating filling yet nourishing meals from simple ingredients.
