Sayote Can Cause High Blood Pressure

Sayote, a green vegetable that grows freely in Philex. It is a vine and grown over a a web of wires. It is edible from the tip to the leaves (the tender ones), flower, the vegetable, the seed but not the roots. You can mix it with all to come up with a dish, sardines with sayote, egg with sayote, pork with sayote, beef with sayote, chicken with sayote, shrimp with sayote, fish with sayote, sayote with sayote... etc. etc.... You may grill, boil, fry, if not bake it, just use ur imagination. I also tried sayote as sweets. Sayote was a source of income for me and my brothers back then, we go to the kasayotian and gather the vegetable with ulnos, and sell it to the stores who buy them per kilo. The magic of this plant is that it is a source of high blood pressure. Though it is mainly made up of water, when cooked with pork, beef and chicken it can cause high blood. Or when a father comes home from work and asks his wife what is in store for dinner , wife says, 'Inlambong nga sayote'.... Husband goes high blood and says 'Sayote manen?'... But this wonderful vegetable, who had been a part of my meals at Philex, from breakfast, lunch, dinner, merienda, pulutan and all.... Everyone of us knows this because this wonderful vegetable had extended our meals so that it will feed everyone in the family. Beside I owe what I am now to this amazing vegetable....
