Papaitan is a traditional Filipino soup known for its distinct bitter and savory flavors. Originating from Ilocano cuisine, its name comes from the word "pait," meaning bitter, reflecting the use of beef or goat bile as a key ingredient. The dish typically includes chopped innards like liver, heart, tripe, and intestines, often combined with cuts of regular meat. Seasoned with garlic, onions, ginger, and chili, the broth is tangy and aromatic, often enhanced with calamansi juice for balance. While Papaitan is high in protein due to its meat content, it is also rich in cholesterol and fat, making it less ideal for those monitoring heart health or managing cholesterol levels. It offers iron and other nutrients from organ meats, but should be consumed in moderation. Papaitan embodies the resourceful nature of Filipino cooking, turning unique ingredients into a bold, flavorful dish.
