Ulam is a traditional Filipino dish consisting of fresh, often raw, leafy greens and vegetables paired with fermented shrimp paste (bagoong) or salted fish. It is a staple side in Filipino cuisine, commonly enjoyed with rice. Ulam typically includes nutrient-packed ingredients like bitter melon leaves, okra, tomatoes, or eggplant, offering a rich source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Its raw preparation helps retain most of its nutrients, promoting digestive health and bolstering immunity. However, the accompanying condiments, such as bagoong, can be high in sodium, so moderation is advised for those monitoring their salt intake. Ulam reflects the simplicity and resourcefulness of Filipino cooking while delivering a healthy, plant-based option packed with flavor and nutrition.
