Pork stomach, also known as hog maw, is a nutrient-rich organ meat commonly used in various cuisines, including Chinese, Southeast Asian, and traditional Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. Its chewy texture and mild flavor make it a versatile ingredient in soups, stews, and stir-fries. Pork stomach is a good source of protein, essential vitamins like B6 and B12, and minerals such as zinc and iron, which support immune health and energy levels. However, it is also relatively high in cholesterol and fat, so moderation is advised for those monitoring their lipid levels. Culturally, it is often celebrated as a food that reduces waste by utilizing the entirety of the animal, a practice rooted in sustainability. To maximize its health benefits, it is typically paired with vegetables, lean proteins, or nutrient-dense broths in traditional dishes.
