What is this food?
Chevon kidney (kidney from goat), cooked and eaten as a protein-rich viand.
Why it matters to health
Kidney helps support your daily protein needs for muscle repair and satiety. For this 100g serving, it’s relatively low in carbs (0.4g) and has moderate fat (3.5g), which makes it a good option for building balanced meals with rice and vegetables. It also has sodium (158mg), so it’s best to watch how salty the cooking method is (e.g., with lots of bagoong, patis, or salty broth). Since it’s an organ meat, pairing it with fiber-rich vegetables and keeping portions reasonable helps keep your plate balanced.
Healthier tips
- For a typical day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), use kidney as your protein viand—aim for about a palm-sized portion per meal.
- Balance the plate: add 1–2 cups of vegetables (like kangkong, pechay, or mixed veggies) and a sensible serving of rice.
- Go easy on salt: choose less salty sauces and broth; taste first before adding more seasoning.
- If you’re having kidney, you can keep other high-sodium items (like processed fish or instant noodles) for the next meal/snack instead of the same time.
