Mangroves are usually the plant home of it,they can be easily seen on the dead roots

So for some this delicacy is not so ordinary ,many tourist are coming to try it! Despite of its unpleasant appearance It’s rich in iron, calcium, zinc and vitamins A and B12. And it doesn’t have much calories. Other country like thailand have their exotic insects and snakes as for the Philippines we have this distinct delicacy or somewhat exotic food that we can be proud of.
