Nilupak na Balinghoy Recipe

Nilupak is a Tagalog word that means mashed or pounded. That is where the name of this Filipino delicacy was derived as this is the process involved in preparing it.

Different starchy fruits or roots can be used to make Nilupak. The most popularly used is the cassava and saba bananas when they are not yet ripe. Sweet potato and ube are also sometimes used.

These days there are more convenient ways to make Nilupak. Others even use grated cassava that is easily bought in groceries or supermarkets. Or you can use a grinder to grind the cooked cassava for a finer and smoother texture.
