About Puso

Puso, also known as "hanging rice," is a traditional Filipino delicacy consisting of rice boiled and steamed inside woven coconut or palm leaves. Originating from Cebu and other Visayas and Mindanao regions, this portable and hygienic way of preparing rice is a staple in Filipino street food culture, often paired with grilled or skewered meats. Nutritiously, puso provides carbohydrates for energy and is naturally fat-free and low in sodium. However, its healthiness varies based on portion size and pairing—when served with high-fat or high-sodium dishes, its nutritional balance may diminish. Puso’s distinct packaging, made from biodegradable leaves, makes it environmentally friendly and eliminates the need for disposable utensils. Its compact form also ensures food safety during transport, making it a convenient and sustainable choice for meals on the go.
