Chicharon bulaklak is high in protein and fat, providing a rich energy source. However, it is also high in calories and should be consumed in moderation. It is often enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of the diet.
Culinary Uses: Chicharon bulaklak is typically served as a snack or appetizer, often paired with a tangy vinegar dipping sauce. It is a popular accompaniment to alcoholic beverages and is commonly enjoyed during social gatherings and festive celebrations. The crispy texture and savory flavor make it a delightful addition to any meal.
Storage: Freshly cooked chicharon bulaklak is best enjoyed immediately while still warm and crisp. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a short period, but they may lose their crispiness over time. Reheating in an oven or air fryer can help restore some of the texture.

Standard handling procedures should be observed since this is fresh (not ready for frying). Clean it with water and add a little salt. Boil for about 15-20 minutes and add vinegar. Allow it to completely dry before frying so it can become crispy. You can even give it a one-day gap if you want it crispier. Store it in the refrigerator first and cook the next day.
