About Palitaw
Palitaw is a traditional Filipino rice cake made from glutinous rice flour, water, and sugar, often coated with grated coconut, sesame seeds, and more sugar. Its name comes from the Tagalog word "litaw," meaning "to float," as the dough rises to the surface when boiled. Palitaw is gluten-free and provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content, making it a satisfying snack or dessert. Coconut and sesame seeds add some healthy fats, fiber, and essential minerals like manganese and copper. However, it is high in sugar, which can contribute to a potential caloric overload for those monitoring their intake. While Palitaw is simple and low in artificial additives, portion control is recommended to enjoy its delicious taste without overindulging in sugary calories. Popular in Filipino cuisine, Palitaw celebrates the country's rich culinary heritage and offers a treat that’s both comforting and culturally significant.
