Puto is a traditional Filipino steamed rice cake made from rice flour, sugar, and coconut milk, often leavened with baking powder. It is characterized by its soft, fluffy texture and slightly sweet taste. Puto is commonly served as a snack or paired with savory dishes like dinuguan (pork blood stew). Variations include added cheese, salted eggs, or ube (purple yam) for extra flavor. As rice flour is gluten-free, it can be a suitable choice for those with gluten sensitivities. Puto is relatively low in fat but contains simple carbohydrates and sugar, making it energy-rich but less ideal for low-carb diets. Moderation is key for health-conscious individuals. While traditionally homemade and preservative-free, pre-made or packaged versions may contain additives, so checking labels is recommended. Puto’s adaptability and cultural significance make it a beloved staple in Filipino cuisine.
