as a child,i used to hate eating Lupo,but now, we rarely find it because most ricefields are already contaminated with heavy pesticides.it sure goes well with ginisang munggo and shrimp! and i wonder why my post says that I’m from China when I’m in Bacolod…

Lupo are green weeds usually find along the ricefield trails. In my hometown (Dao, Capiz, Philippines) we used to saute it with mongo and dried anchovies (bulinaw) and it taste best. It is also used as substitute for Kamote or Kangkong leves for sinigang. Manamit gid.

aside from monggo, we also use lupo as greens for fish sinigang in lieu of kamote/kangkong

i wold love to try Lupo. but it’s not Talinum. same usage but kind of sour when eaten fresh really good in sinigang and ginisang munggo, i make it like a wilted salad greens & kesong puti with Nouc Nan dressing. Talinum have broader oval leaves and the flowers are blue & the seed pods pop when mature, ready for sowing itself. drop in the dish last minute off the fire to retain its green color & flavor. found along side roads & empty lots.

Geezz, something is really wrong with me, coz’ even just a picture of lupo made me so excited and go wax nostalgic about it.Yup,as an ilonggo I’m very familiar with this veggie, my mother use to add it in our bangus soup or in ginisang munggo.I love it! Now, if only I can find lupo here in Belgium, maybe I will be one happy camper, but of course that’s just impossible….

LUPO stands for Lupinus polyphyllus or Lupinus polycarpa(polycarpus?)technically, as far as I can remember (and another name, from another family which I forgot). Its a herb, I think. Not so sure,cant remember how those look like…just guessing for now.Will check on it later as Im runnin out of time now.

Ah, could this be the same veggie called talilong? (As in “hilong talilong”?)

I don’t think it’s talinum. Might be this:
