About Boiled pork dumplings

Boiled pork dumplings are a popular dish originating from Chinese cuisine, often served as a comforting meal or appetizer. Made of minced pork mixed with seasonings and encased in thin wheat flour wrappers, they are cooked by boiling until tender. Nutritionally, pork dumplings provide a moderate amount of protein from the pork filling, along with carbohydrates from the wrapper. They may also contain small amounts of fat, depending on the cut of pork used. Some variations include vegetables in the filling, such as cabbage or green onions, which add fiber and additional nutrients. Each dumpling typically contains around 30-60 calories, depending on its size and exact recipe, making them an energy-dense food that can be part of a balanced meal when paired with a side of vegetables or soup.

Health Benefits

• High-quality protein from pork supports muscle repair and maintenance, providing approximately 7-10 grams of protein per serving.
• Rich in Vitamin B1 (thiamine) from pork, which aids in energy metabolism and proper nerve function.
• Contains iron, primarily from the pork filling, which helps to produce red blood cells and prevent anemia.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat (gluten), soy (often present in dipping sauce), egg (sometimes in wrapper or filling)

Suitable for: High-protein diets, omnivore diets

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets, vegetarian and vegan diets (due to pork filling)
