Lokalpedia presents: Souring Agents of the Philippines.

by Sherwin | Jan 1, 2023

After we compiled the vegetables flowers of the Philippines, Lokalpedia created another list of souring agents from plants, both native and introduced species. These souring agents are not created equal – some are mildly sour, while others are extremely acidic.

The list is a collection of documented souring agent by Lokalpedia. There are still more souring agents used in different parts of the country such as samuyao, inyam, pagatpat or mangrove apple, mangoes, begonias, tovokay or torch ginger, etc.

The abundance of these ingredients is a testement of great biodiversity and colorful food heritage of the Philippines
