About Kare kare

Kare-Kare is a traditional Filipino stew known for its rich, savory peanut sauce and vibrant presentation. It typically features oxtail, beef tripe, or pork hock simmered until tender, alongside vegetables like bok choy, eggplant, string beans, and banana blossoms. Ground roasted peanuts or peanut butter and annatto oil give the dish its signature flavor and orange hue. Kare-Kare is often served with bagoong (fermented shrimp paste) to enhance its taste. Nutritionally, Kare-Kare provides a good source of protein from the meat and fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the vegetables. However, it can also be calorie-dense due to the peanut-based sauce and potential added fats. The sodium content may be high if paired with bagoong. Moderation and balance with other dishes are key to enjoying Kare-Kare as part of a healthy meal.
