About Pre colonial adobo

Pre-Colonial Adobo is a traditional Filipino dish rooted in indigenous cooking methods before Spanish colonization. This hearty stew typically featured native ingredients like vinegar, salt, garlic, and local herbs, used to preserve and flavor meats such as pork, chicken, or fish. The absence of soy sauce, which was introduced later, gave Pre-Colonial Adobo its distinct tangy and savory profile. Vinegar acted as a natural preservative, while garlic provided its antimicrobial properties. This dish was cooked slowly, allowing flavors to seep deeply into the meat. Nutritionally, Pre-Colonial Adobo is a balanced source of protein from the meat and benefits from the low-calorie, nutrient-dense vinegar. However, high sodium content from salt may be a concern for those with dietary restrictions. Its simple preparation highlights the resourcefulness of early Filipinos, crafting flavorful and wholesome meals with locally available ingredients.
