Tripe, dressed, raw

Tripe is the edible stomach lining of animals such as cattle. These figures describe dressed, raw tripe, which has been cleaned and prepared for cooking. It mainly provides water and protein, with small amounts of fat and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 7.1g of protein, 0.5g of fat, 0.2g of saturated fat and 0.13g of salt.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The fat and salt contents shown here refer to the tripe itself; sauces, added salt and other ingredients can change the nutritional content of a prepared dish. Raw tripe needs thorough cooking before eating. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
