Malunggay Pandesal in the food context refers to a variation of the traditional Filipino bread roll known as pandesal, which is enhanced with malunggay (Moringa oleifera) leaves. Malunggay, also known as moringa, is a plant native to parts of Africa and Asia, known for its highly nutritious leaves that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Incorporating malunggay into pandesal not only boosts the nutritional value of the bread but also adds a subtle green hue and a slight, earthy flavor to the rolls.
