Champorado is a Filipino rice porridge made with glutinous rice, cocoa powder or tablea (chocolate tablets), sugar, and water, often served with evaporated milk and paired with salty dried fish, like tuyo, for contrast. Originating from the Philippines and influenced by Mexican champurrado during the galleon trade, it is a beloved comfort food, typically eaten for breakfast or as a snack. Champorado provides energy and nutrients from its carbohydrate-rich glutinous rice and cocoa, which is a good source of antioxidants. While its chocolatey flavor is indulgent, added sugar can increase calorie content, making it high in sugar depending on preparation. For a healthier version, consider moderating sugar levels or using dark chocolate for a lower-sugar option. Rich, filling, and nostalgic, Champorado is both a cultural treat and a versatile dish with room for more nutrient-conscious adaptations.
