Did you know that Green, unripe mangoes (hilaw na mangga) are often eaten in the Philippines with either salt or bagoóng. Binagoongan refers to a dish that heavily uses bagoóng for flavor. It is frequently a stew that uses pork as a main ingredient.

Many Filipino soups and stews are flavored with bagoóng. Popular dishes that have it as an essential ingredient are dinengdeng and pinakbet. Serve kare-kare and ginisang kangkong with this condiment!
