Because of the heat of the Summer season, we always feel dehydrated and needing lots of liquid to cool us down. Water, fruit juices and sodas are the common drinks but there are other food alternatives to quench our thirst like the watermelon, young coconut juice and young turnip (Singkamas) to name a few.
Here I have young turnips that I bought for only 20 pesos per bundle that consists of six pieces. Note: When buying turnips, make sure that these are young as these are fresher, crunchy, sweet and juicier unlike the old ones that are already candidate as cooking ingredients and not for raw eating.
To have a readied thirst quencher, I removed the skin of the turnips with the use of a knife and sliced them into about half inch thick.
Then placed in a plastic container and stored in the fridge to cool. Whenever anyone in the house wants to take a bite, they just get them there, sprinkle with a bit of salt to taste then munch. Some would prefer to season it with bagoong (cooked shrimp paste) which also good, but I would rather have it plain or with just the salt to keep the fresh taste in my mouth.
How about you, what’s your refreshing food on this very humid weather?
