What is this food?
AI-assisted
Carabeef heart is an organ meat from the carabao. It’s mainly a protein-rich food, typically cooked as viand like adobo, sinigang, or ginisa.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Carabeef heart can help you meet your daily protein needs for muscle repair and satiety. It also has cholesterol (about 145 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (about 1.61 g), so it’s best to keep portions balanced. On the plus side, it has very low carbs and sugar (0.7 g carbs, 0 g sugar), which makes it a good choice for meals when you want to control rice or bread portions. It’s also relatively low in sodium per 100 g (about 101 mg), but the overall sodium can rise depending on how it’s seasoned (like soy sauce, bagoong, or broth).
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • For your 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks/day, treat carabeef heart as a protein viand: aim for about 1/4 to 1/3 of your plate.
  • Pair it with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, cabbage, okra) and keep rice to a moderate serving.
  • Choose cooking methods that use less added fat: stew, sinigang, or ginisa with minimal oil.
  • Watch the salty seasonings (soy sauce, patis, bagoong, broth cubes). Taste first, then adjust.
  • If you’re eating organ meat, enjoy it in moderation—not every day—while rotating with other protein sources like fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, or legumes.
