What is this food?
AI-assisted Egg, duck, century (often called century egg). It’s a preserved duck egg with a strong, savory flavor—usually eaten as a side dish or with rice/congee.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Century egg provides protein to help build and repair body tissues, and it also has healthy energy for daily activities. It contains fat (including saturated fat) and high cholesterol, plus sodium from the preservation process. It also has some carbohydrates and sugar, but fiber is low. For health, it’s best to enjoy it as part of a balanced plate—especially if you’re also eating other salty or fatty foods in the day.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Pair it with vegetables (like lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, or kangkong) to add fiber and keep meals filling.
- Keep portions reasonable: for example, have 1/2 to 1 egg depending on your meal size, then balance with rice and veggies.
- Because it’s sodium-rich, avoid adding extra salty sauces (like soy sauce) if you’re already eating century egg.
- If you’re having it for a snack, choose a lighter pairing (e.g., with plain rice or broth, plus veggies) instead of fried sides.
- To fit a typical day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), use century egg as an occasional protein choice rather than every day.
Common Filipino dishes
