The Mombar dish is one of the famous Egyptian dishes, especially in the South Sinai region. It consists of animal intestines, such as sheep, goats, and cows, stuffed with a mixture of rice and vegetables. It is a dish rich in calories, as it provides about five hundred calories for every three hundred grams of it.
This dish is considered high in calories and high in nutritional value at the same time, so diabetics, people who suffer from high cholesterol, and people who follow harsh diet programs to lose weight should avoid eating it in abundance because it contains a high amount of animal fats.
The Mombar dish is rich in its nutritional benefits for the human body represented in the following:
- Provides the body with energy on cold winter days.
- It contains a high percentage of animal protein, which helps build and regenerate body cells.
- It is high in calcium and phosphorous, which build bones and teeth.
