    What Is Tripe?

    Tripe is the edible stomach muscle lining that comes from animals such as pigs, sheep, and cows. Tripe is very low in calories and is considered to be a healthy source of protein. 

    What Does Tripe Taste Like?

    Tripe gets much of its flavor from the nearby organs. It has a mild flavor that’s similar to liver and has a pleasant chewy texture when properly cooked. Undercooked tripe can be quite tough. 

    How to Prepare Tripe

    Tripe purchased from the butcher has typically been soaked in brine, bleached, and boiled. You’ll need to scrub the tripe with vinegar and rock salt to remove any remaining impurities. After soaking it in cold water for 5-10 minutes, rinse the tripe well and cut it into pieces. At this point you’re ready to cook the tripe in boiling water for 1-2 hours until tender.
