Kamias 'Iba' Juice
Have you ever tried experimenting with food? It's so much fun discovering new ways of preparing and eating food, right?
So yesterday, I made Kamias or 'Iba' Juice and decided to share to you the recipe.
But first, let me tell you what Kamias is. According to wikipedia, Kamias has a scientific name of Averrhoa bilimbi (commonly known as bilimbi, cucumber tree, or tree sorrel). It is a fruit-bearing tree of the genus Averrhoa, familyOxalidaceae. It is a close relative of carambola tree.
In the Philippines,it is commonly found in backyards. As a matter of fact, we have 2 in our very own backyard. Sometimes we eat the fruits either raw or we dip it on rock salt. We also add it as a souring agent for the common Filipino dish sinigang or pork stew.
