Tripe, dressed, stewed in milk

Tripe is the edible stomach lining of farm animals, usually cattle. The figures here describe dressed tripe, meaning tripe that has been cleaned and prepared, stewed in milk. Per 100g, it provides 15g of protein and 4.5g of fat, including 2.4g of saturated fat. It also contains 150mg of calcium.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Salt added during cooking can change the salt content of the finished dish.
