Make Ampalaya Seed Coffee and Pulvoron
Researchers from Father Urios High School, Byugan, Agusan Del Sur developed coffee and pulvoron out of ampalaya seeds. They are Ma. Liza Lamanilao and Venus Sejalbo.
The amplaya seeds that are just being thrown away are now made into coffee, pulvoron and decorative materials.
The awesome discovery may discourage the use of commercial coffee that has no nutritive value. This is also developed to answer the serious need for a very economical, nutritious and at the same time a medicinal coffee.
Ampalaya seeds contains iron and folic acid or Vit. B12 which are essential for the production of the red blood cells and the formation of myoglobin and hemoglobin and was found out that this is good for dysmenorrheal and amenorrhea (absence of menstruation). Provides the daily need of iron in the body and good for diabetics.
To make coffee, just collect ampalaya seeds, remove the shells, and toast the seeds until their color will turn brown and pound them you have already a caffeine free coffee.
Aside from coffee, you can also make nutritious pulvoron by toasting again the granules together with milk and sugar.

note: Heat might destroys nutrients. Maybe a tea making procedure is more feasible.

It really depends on sun’s heat and weather condition. Most seeds are dried until its moisture content is down to 12%. The right way to say is “sun dry the seeds until its moisture content is down to 12%”. You need a moisture meter for this. However you can standardize your own parameters like a cup of dried ampalaya seeds should weigh ___ grams.

It is definitely not soluble in hot water. The kapeng barako is not soluble in water. You may prepare it by using coffee brewer or placing it in instant teabags.
