I have been trying to only feed myself and to also encourage my family to eat organically grown edible plants. I came across kulitis and amazed at how nutrient-packed it is, I browsed the internet. I am so happy to have learned more about it. Thank you for sharing about this wonderful plant, too. I hope to cook my first kitis recipe the soonest I can find the plant in my place. God bless.
Hi Rosette, thank you so much for dropping by and leaving some lines here. We love “Kalunay” very much, because my late tatay and my hubby are both Ilocanos and this is one of remarkable leaves usually cooked along with other vegetables on an Ilokano recipe…which Ilocanos used to eat!
glad to see your post..but still skeptic if these wild plants surrounding my house are kalunay..
