Bulalo

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Bulalo is a traditional Filipino dish that is primarily made from beef shank and marrow bones. It is a type of soup that is known for its rich and savory flavor, which is derived from the slow-cooking of the beef until the collagen and fat has melted into the clear broth.

Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]

The main ingredients of Bulalo are beef shank, marrow bones, cabbage, corn, potatoes, onions, peppercorn, and fish sauce. The beef shank and marrow bones are boiled for several hours, which allows the marrow to seep out and give the soup its distinct flavor. The vegetables are added towards the end of the cooking process to ensure they retain their texture and freshness.

Health Benefits and Risks[edit | edit source]

While Bulalo is a flavorful dish, it is also high in cholesterol and saturated fat due to the marrow and beef used. However, it also provides a good source of protein, vitamin B12, and iron. The vegetables added to the soup also contribute to its nutritional value, providing vitamin C, fiber, and other essential nutrients.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

Bulalo is a popular dish in the Philippines, particularly in the province of Batangas, where it is considered a specialty. It is often served during special occasions and gatherings, and is also a common dish in many Filipino restaurants.
