00:06 We're now getting ready for our special guest,

00:11 who is an expert in cooking food from farm to table,

00:16 Chef JR.

00:17 Welcome to Amazing Earth, Chef.

00:19 Brother, thank you.

00:20 Happy to be here and I'm excited to share with you

00:23 a very unique and yet familiar recipe.

00:27 We all want to know that.

00:30 I heard that our dishes are always good,

00:32 but when it comes to cooking,

00:34 there's always something different in the recipe.

00:36 But now, what's different in what we're going to do?

00:39 I'll give you a very easy recipe

00:41 and yet very familiar to many of us.

00:43 A Pinais dish, but this time,

00:45 I'll use Talbos, a mango leaf.

00:49 This is very underutilized and a very healthy ingredient.

00:52 You've probably tried cooking a Pinais fish

00:56 using banana leaves,

00:58 but mango leaves?

01:00 Here's Chef JR Royal

01:02 to teach us how to cook it.

01:04 [music]

01:14 Hello, Ka-Amazing!

01:16 We're going to make a classic Filipino favorite,

01:19 a Pinais dish.

01:21 But this time, we'll use

01:23 banana leaves instead.

01:25 We don't use this often,

01:27 so I thought of introducing you to

01:30 Talbos, a mango leaf.

01:32 [music]

01:40 This ingredient is super underutilized.

01:44 Chef, I'm really curious.

01:46 I like sour food, but let's see

01:48 what the effect of mango

01:50 will be on your dish.

01:52 Maybe that's the trick part.

01:54 Your mind would say that

01:56 our dish is sour,

01:58 but it's actually not because

02:00 the leaves are very neutral in flavor.

02:02 So, if you want to add

02:04 sourness, definitely.

02:06 But because this is a Pinais dish,

02:08 it's just salt and garlic.

02:10 Just like that? Yes, sir.

02:12 So, this leaf is edible? Yes, sir.

02:14 It's edible and healthy.

02:16 [music]

02:23 What do you think?

02:25 It has a different texture. Yes.

02:27 But it smells good. Can I have some rice, please?

02:29 [laughs]

02:31 I want to be more interested about

02:33 the nutritional value of this.

02:35 Does it have any benefits?

02:37 Of course, mango is rich in vitamins.

02:39 Yes, it has a lot of vitamins.

02:41 Vitamin C, A, and B.

02:43 It also has antioxidants.

02:47 So, those are some of the benefits

02:49 that you can ingest, literally.

02:51 Just by using this very humble ingredient.

02:53 You see, my dear viewers.

02:55 And you know, Chef is also a supporter

02:57 of the local agriculture industry.

02:59 Yes, sir.

03:01 Chef, in your opinion,

03:03 how can we help our farmers?

03:05 Because sometimes,

03:07 their crops are wasted.

03:09 If it's not wasted,

03:11 their crops can be bought

03:13 at a very low price.

03:15 What's your opinion on this?

03:17 What I would suggest is,

03:19 or the very least that we can do

03:21 as consumers, would be buy local.

03:23 That's very practical.

03:25 I'm sure that wherever you live in the province,

03:29 there are farms nearby.

03:31 Know them,

03:33 have a relationship with them,

03:35 buy from them.

03:37 That's what I mean.

03:39 Not necessarily cutting the avenues

03:41 of revenue for other people like the middlemen.

03:43 But it's different if

03:45 we are the ones who are interested in their products.

03:47 Maybe we should learn

03:49 how to plant

03:51 and maybe

03:53 harvest our own produce.

03:55 Do it ourselves.

03:57 I think that's the most practical approach.

03:59 In the comforts of our backyards.

04:01 Even inside the house.

04:03 I think what's great about that is

04:05 not only that you're concentrating on your health.

04:09 Because I feel like,

04:11 and there are scientific numbers

04:13 that we could refer to,

04:15 that it actually changes your entire lifestyle.

04:17 Yes, your physical health benefits from this.

04:21 But our mental health also helps.

04:23 And of course, our impact on the environment.

04:25 That's what's important.

04:27 So chef, thank you so much.

04:29 Aside from having a new experience

04:31 that was so delicious,

04:33 we also learned a lot from you about these things.

04:35 So thank you so much.

04:37 Long live to you, an amazing earth hero.

04:39 Always a pleasure.

04:41 Thank you. Let's go back here.

04:43 I'm going to eat first.

04:45 Actually, my favorite dish is the "ulo".

04:47 And also,

04:49 "Tear me with the mangoes".

04:51 So that

04:53 we can elevate the world.

04:55 Wow.
