About Pinakbet
Pinakbet is a traditional Filipino vegetable dish hailing from the northern region of the Philippines. Its name derives from the Ilocano word “pinakebbet,” meaning “shrunk,” which describes the method of cooking the vegetables until tender and infused with flavor. The dish typically includes nutrient-packed vegetables like bitter melon, eggplant, okra, tomatoes, string beans, and squash, seasoned with bagoong (fermented shrimp paste) for a distinctive, savory taste. Pinakbet is rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making it a heart-healthy choice that supports digestion and overall wellness. However, the use of bagoong may contribute to high sodium content, which should be considered for individuals managing blood pressure. Often prepared without heavy oils or added sugars, Pinakbet is a flavorful, wholesome representation of Filipino cuisine, promoting balance through fresh, local ingredients. Enjoyed as a standalone dish or paired with rice, Pinakbet is both a nutritional and cultural staple.
