Karne

The Filipino word for “meat” is karne, from the Spanish carne. The native Tagalog word is laman, but that term is now more commonly used to refer to what can be translated into English as “flesh.”

Ang karne ay mahal na pinagkukunan ng protina. Bakit hindi kayo gumamit sa halip nito ng tokwa, utaw, itlog, o mga buto ng munggo? Hindi lamang mura ang  mga ito — kundi lalong mabuti sa pangangatawan. Inyong masusumpungan na pagka tumpak ang pagkapaghanda, ang mga pagkaing ito ay maaring maging kasing-sarap ng mga pagkain karne!

Meat is an expensive source of protein. Why don’t you use tofu, soybeans, eggs, or mungbean seeds instead? These are not just cheap — they’re also better for the body. You’ll find out that with the right preparation, these foods can be as delicious as meat dishes!
