Bukko

Bukko is one of the local delicacies in Benguet and Mt. Province. Its main ingredient is made up of camote (sweet potato). Camote is carefully shredded into pieces and sundried for a couple of days. After which, it is pounded until pulverized. The pulverized bukko will now be mixed with water, peanuts, sugar, and other mixtures of their choice. Later on, the mixture will be formed into a ball, wrapped in banana leaves then steamed. An alternative wrapper can be cabbage leaves.
