What is this food?
AI-assisted
Boiled pork spleen (usually called “pork spleen” or “dinuguan spleen” depending on the dish), a type of organ meat that’s mainly a protein-rich food.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Pork spleen is a good source of protein, which helps with building and repairing body tissues and supports feeling full between meals. It also has some fat (about 3.7 g per 100 g) and a small amount of sodium (64 mg per 100 g). Since it’s an organ meat, it’s best to include it as part of a balanced plate—pair it with vegetables and a sensible amount of rice or other carbs—so your meals stay well-rounded.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Serve a small-to-medium portion (about 1/2 to 1 cup cooked, depending on your appetite and your other food).
  • Build your plate: half non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, carrots, sayote), quarter protein (pork spleen), and quarter carbs (rice or kamote).
  • Keep it lighter: choose boiled or lightly cooked versions; go easy on salty sauces.
  • Since you eat 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks, place this protein in a main meal, not every day—rotate with fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, and beans.
