About Afritada

Afritada is a classic Filipino stew known for its rich, savory, and slightly sweet tomato-based sauce. Typically, it includes tender chicken or pork simmered with potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and green peas, creating a vibrant and hearty dish. The use of fresh vegetables makes Afritada a source of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, supporting overall health. The protein from the meat contributes to muscle repair and development, while the tomatoes provide antioxidants like lycopene. However, aspects such as added salt and oil can increase sodium and fat content, potentially posing concerns for individuals monitoring their intake. Traditionally served with rice, Afritada offers comforting flavors deeply rooted in Filipino cuisine, reflecting Spanish influences adapted over time. For a balanced version, portion control and using less oil can enhance its health benefits without compromising the taste.
