Lucia Frozen Pepper Leaves (Sili) – 8oz

Typical Use:
Lucia Frozen Pepper Leaves (Sili) are commonly used in Filipino dishes such as tinola, a comforting chicken soup simmered with ginger, green papaya, and sili leaves. These mildly bitter, earthy-tasting leaves are added near the end of cooking to preserve their flavor and texture, enhancing the dish’s aroma and depth.

Other Uses:
Beyond tinola, sili leaves can be used in regional dishes like laing (taro leaves cooked in coconut milk) as a leafy addition, or blended into vegetable soups, omelets, and stews for an herbal, slightly peppery note. They’re also enjoyed in ginisang gulay (sautéed vegetables) or served as a side with grilled fish or meat.

Known for Filipinos:
Pepper leaves are a treasured ingredient in Filipino cooking, especially in Luzon and Visayas households. While their appearance is humble, they’re known for their subtle yet distinct flavor and nutritional value. Often homegrown in backyard gardens, sili leaves carry a sense of home and simplicity, tying into the traditional lutong bahay (home-cooked) experience.
