Dried Hipon, or dried shrimp, is a flavorful ingredient commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Filipino cooking. Made by sun-drying small shrimp, it is packed with concentrated savory and umami flavors that enhance dishes like soups, stews, and stir-fries. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein, essential amino acids, and minerals such as calcium, iron, and selenium, which support bone health, oxygen transport, and immune function. However, dried hipon is often high in sodium due to the drying and preservation process, which may be a concern for individuals managing blood pressure or heart health. It is low in fats and carbohydrates, making it a protein-rich addition to meals when used in moderation. Dried Hipon is prized not only for its unique taste but also for its versatility in traditional recipes, adding depth to a variety of dishes.
