Nilaga Na Karne is a traditional Filipino boiled meat soup, celebrated for its hearty simplicity and comforting flavors. Typically made with beef chunks, bone marrow, or pork, the dish is simmered with water until tender, alongside vegetables like potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and sometimes green beans or plantains. Its origins lie in Filipino home cooking, emphasizing accessible ingredients and straightforward preparation. Nutritionally, Nilaga offers a good source of protein from the meat and various vitamins and minerals from the vegetables. The clear broth makes it a low-fat option compared to richer or cream-based dishes. However, its healthiness depends on portion sizes and the cut of meat used; fatty cuts or marrow portions can elevate cholesterol and saturated fat levels. Ideal for balanced meals, Nilaga can be customized with lean proteins and additional vegetables for a lighter, nutrient-packed variation.
