About Utan

Utan is a traditional Filipino vegetable soup known for its nutritious blend of fresh ingredients. Typically hailing from the Visayas and Mindanao regions, this hearty dish incorporates a variety of vegetables such as malunggay (moringa leaves), squash, string beans, okra, and eggplant, often simmered with fish or shrimp for added protein. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, Utan provides essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, and calcium, while being naturally low in calories and fat. Its use of moringa leaves is especially notable for promoting immune health and providing anti-inflammatory benefits. Utan is often enjoyed as a comforting, wholesome meal and pairs well with rice. However, the addition of salted fish or broth may contribute sodium, so moderation is advised for those monitoring salt intake. A colorful and nourishing staple, Utan highlights the Filipino tradition of balancing flavor with health.
