About Nilaga

Nilaga is a traditional Filipino boiled soup known for its simplicity and heartiness. Typically made with tender cuts of beef or pork, potatoes, cabbage, green beans, carrots, and occasionally corn, it offers a wholesome balance of proteins and vegetables. Simmered to perfection, the dish captures the natural sweetness of its ingredients without heavy seasoning, relying on salt and pepper for flavor. Nilaga is nutrient-rich, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the vegetables, along with protein and iron from the meat. The broth is light yet flavorful, making it a comforting and hydrating choice. While it is generally healthy, the fat content from the meat can be significant, depending on the cut used. To keep Nilaga nutritious, opting for leaner meat and adding more vegetables can enhance its health benefits while maintaining its traditional essence.
