Long Beans
I just started some long beans seeds (sitaw). Not all of them showed up yet but this is what it looks like when they emerge from the soil. It’s not quite ready for transplanting yet. I have to wait for what they call “true” leaves before moving them to the garden bed. I already set up a trellis for them to grow. I can’t wait for the beans to show, maybe a month from now. I like to use them in vegetable stirfry or “bulanglang”, “kare-kare” (oxtail stew) or pork/beef “sinigang”. Adobong “sitaw” (long beans) is also a popular recipe for vegetarians.
Healthy for you and good eats too!
