Binagol is a Filipino sweet steamed delicacy of the Waray people made from mashed giant taro corms, condensed milk, sugar, coconut milk, and egg yolks. It is distinctively placed in half of a coconut shell and then wrapped in banana leaves and twine. The name means "placed in a coconut shell", from the Visayan bagol (coconut shell). Binagol traditionally uses the corms of the giant taro (locally known as talyan or talian); however, the corms of the taro (known in Tagalog as gabi and in Eastern Visayas, where the delicacy originates, as gaway) is also alternatively used.{{cite web |last1=Piccio |first1=Belle |title=Binagol: A Sweet Surprise in a Coconut Shell |url=https://www.choosephilippines.com/eat/local-flavors/4012/binagol-recipe-visayan-delicacy/ |website=ChoosePhilippines |access-date=April 9, 2019 |archive-date=May 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190514045937/https://www.choosephilippines.com/eat/local-flavors/4012/binagol-recipe-visayan-delicacy/ |url-status=usurped }}{{cite web |title=The Sweet Binagol of Leyte and Samar |url=http://visitpinas.com/the-sweet-binagol-of-leyte-and-samar/ |website=VisitPinas.com |access-date=April 9, 2019 |archive-date=April 11, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190411090946/http://visitpinas.com/the-sweet-binagol-of-leyte-and-samar |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |title=Binagol (or Binangol) |url=http://www.kawalingpinoyrecipe.com/native_delicacies/binagol.php |website=Kawaling Pinoy Tasty Recipes |access-date=April 9, 2019}}{{cite web |title=Leyte Pasalubong |url=https://www.ourawesomeplanet.com/awesome/2008/07/leyte-pasalubon.html |website=Our Awesome Planet |access-date=April 9, 2019}} It is a type of nilupak.
