FIL: Butil ng murang palay na sinangag at pagkatapos ay binayo o dinikdik upang maging pipi. Ginagamit sa paggawa ng mga kakanin.
EN: pounded young rice grains
The OG rice crispies, but make it Filipino. It's what happens when young, green rice gets roasted and then beaten up (literally, pounded). The result is this crunchy, fragrant, green flake that's amazing on top of ice cream, in hot chocolate, or in kakanin like espasol. It's the glow-up of `palay`.
Also commonly spelled as `pinipig`. Both refer to the same ingredient, a popular topping and component in Filipino desserts.
