About Puto balanghoy
Puto Balanghoy is a Filipino steamed cassava cake made primarily from grated cassava, sugar, and coconut milk, with occasional inclusions like butter or cheese for added flavor. Beloved in Filipino cuisine for its chewy texture and natural sweetness, it offers a gluten-free alternative to traditional rice-based snacks. Cassava serves as a key source of carbohydrates, providing sustained energy, while coconut milk includes beneficial fats that support heart health when consumed in moderation. The simplicity of its ingredients makes it low in cholesterol and free from artificial additives. However, Puto Balanghoy's sugar content can contribute to higher calories, so portion control is recommended for those watching their sugar intake. Rich in fiber and essential nutrients like potassium and vitamin C, this humble snack strikes a balance between indulgence and health—a true reflection of tropical Filipino culinary traditions.
