About Monggo with gata

Monggo With Gata is a hearty Filipino dish made from mung beans (monggo) simmered in creamy coconut milk (gata), often flavored with garlic, onions, and ginger. It typically includes malunggay (moringa leaves) or spinach for added nutrition, with optional ingredients like pork, shrimp, or smoked fish to enhance the flavor. As a plant-based protein source, mung beans are rich in fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins, making this dish beneficial for heart health, digestion, and boosting immunity. Coconut milk provides healthy fats, but it can be calorie-dense, so portion control is key for those monitoring fat intake. The addition of leafy greens contributes iron, calcium, and other vital nutrients, while the dish's rich taste and comforting texture make it both healthy and satisfying. Monggo With Gata embodies the flavorful and nourishing essence of Filipino home cooking.
