What is this food?
Beef omasum, boiled. Omasum is the “third stomach” part of the cow, usually cooked until tender and served as a protein viand.
Why it matters to health
This food helps fill your daily protein needs (good for building and maintaining body tissues). In a 100g serving, it has 93 kcal and 3.7g total fat, including 1.24g saturated fat. It also has 143mg cholesterol and 70mg sodium. Since it’s a fatty organ meat, it’s best to pair it with fiber-rich sides (like vegetables or brown rice in smaller portions) and keep portions balanced so your overall saturated fat and cholesterol stay within a healthy range.
Healthier tips
- Keep the serving to about 1/2 to 1 cup cooked (or roughly 50–100g) per meal, then balance the plate with vegetables and a sensible amount of carbs.
- Choose boiled or lightly seasoned versions; go easy on salty sauces to manage sodium.
- Pair with non-starchy veggies (e.g., pechay, kangkong, cabbage) and add fruit as a snack if you need more fiber and vitamins.
- If you eat it for lunch or dinner, consider having leaner protein (fish, chicken breast, tofu) for the next meal to vary fats across the day.
