About Humba

Humba is a Filipino braised pork dish originating from the Visayas and Mindanao regions. Known for its sweet and savory flavors, it typically features pork belly cooked with soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, onions, brown sugar, and spices like bay leaves and pepper, along with fermented black beans for depth. Banana blossoms and boiled eggs are sometimes added for variety. Rich in flavor, Humba is a hearty comfort dish enjoyed with steamed rice. While the pork provides protein, its high fat and calorie content, especially from pork belly and sugar, makes it an indulgent choice. The garlic and vinegar bring some health benefits, such as aiding digestion and supporting cardiovascular health, but moderation is key due to its fat and sodium levels. As a flavorful representation of Filipino cuisine, Humba balances tradition and taste, making it a beloved dish in its cultural landscape.
