What is this food?
Dried sting ray (honeycomb), a type of dried fish. It’s mainly eaten as a protein-rich viand, usually in small portions because it’s concentrated when dried.
Why it matters to health
With about 209 kcal per 100g and very low carbs, dried sting ray fits well for meals where you want steady energy from protein. It also has small amounts of fat (about 0.9g total fat, with some saturated fat). Since it’s dried, it can be easy to overeat in portion size—so pairing it with plenty of vegetables and a balanced carb source helps keep your plate well-rounded. If you’re watching salt, check the product label or rinse briefly if appropriate to your usual cooking style.
Healthier tips
- For your 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks routine, use dried sting ray as the protein for lunch or dinner, not as the main “snack” item.
- Keep portions small: aim for about 1–2 palm-sized servings depending on your appetite and the rest of your meal.
- Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya, okra) and a sensible carb (rice, kamote, or whole grains).
- Balance the fat: avoid making it too oily; use less added oil and choose lighter cooking methods like sautéing with aromatics or adding to soups.
- If it tastes very salty, consider soaking/rinsing (when suitable) and adjust seasoning for the rest of the dish.
