Bagoong is a traditional Filipino condiment made from fermented fish or shrimp, often blended with salt to develop its distinct umami flavor. Commonly used as a seasoning or dip, it plays a vital role in enhancing Filipino dishes like Kare-Kare or as an accompaniment to green mangoes. Rich in probiotics due to the fermentation process, Bagoong can support gut health when eaten in moderation. It is also a source of protein, essential fatty acids, and minerals like calcium and potassium. However, its high sodium content may be a concern for individuals managing blood pressure or heart health. While it adds depth of flavor to many recipes, mindful consumption is recommended to balance its nutritional benefits with its salt levels, making it a flavorful yet cautious addition to a healthy diet.
