After carrot and squash, now comes the sweet potato variant.
The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) launched on Friday its latest enhanced nutribun (e-nutribun) variant with the flavor and nourishing properties of sweet potato, locally known as “kamote.”
Like the earlier iterations, the pastry—whose origins date back to the Marcos regime—is an excellent source of natural fiber, energy, protein, iron, calcium, potassium and zinc, and has zero trans-fatty acids and cholesterol, according to the DOST’s Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI).
