Bungot For Sale

Well, wouldn’t you know it, Bungot is for sale.

Just kidding, its Bu Ngot, not Bungot, hehehehehe In the Philippines “Bungot” is a Cebuano word for “Pubic Hair”

What is Bu Ngot?
Rau bo ngot - Sauropus androgynus
Bu Ngot or Bo Ngot; Sweet leaf bush. Female Flower dark red. Fruit is white, on red sepals, having 4-5 seeds. Young leaves used in soup. The leaves and the top 15 cm of stem tips of the Sauropus plant have a pleasant taste, similar to fresh garden peas, and slightly nutty and are normally eaten raw in salads or steamed, to add to stir-fry, rice and egg dishes, soups or casseroles. The leaves retain their dark green colour and firm texture on cooking and are served in restaurants as “sayor manis”. The flowers and small purplish fruits of the plant have also be eaten.
