PRICE ALERT: Add Chicken To Your Ginataang Kalabasa Instead
Sayote may still be one of the more affordable vegetables in the palengke but you can't forget that kalabasa is just as affordable, too!Â
The kalabasa is a super versatile vegetable that you can use for both savory dishes as well as for dessert recipes especially when you swap pumpkin with kalabasa in international recipes. You may already know you can make delicious dishes with it so why not try getting creative with the vegetable this week, especially since it dropped P10 yesterday to end at P40 per kilo this week.
Ginataang kalabasa is a classic but while shrimp is what you might normally pair with it, why not add chicken chunks instead? Chicken is another versatile ingredient, plus whole chicken prices also dropped P10 to end at P180 per kilo this week as well.Â
You might be feeling the pressure of all the food price increases these past few months but there is usually an ingredient (or three!) that became more affordable this week compared to last week.Â
