Beef Tripe Omasum

This is a retail-sized 1lb (approximately 454g) package of Beef Omasum Tripe, often called "Book Tripe" or "Bible Tripe" due to its distinctive, layered, leaf-like appearance. Omasum comes from the third chamber of the cow's stomach.

Unlike the honeycomb or blanket varieties, Omasum is highly valued for its crisp, slightly crunchy, and satisfying bite when properly cooked. It absorbs flavors exceptionally well while maintaining its unique texture, making it a favorite in many Asian and global cuisines.

Key Features and Culinary Uses:

• Distinct Texture: Prized for its layered, crunchy-tender texture, which is firmer than other types of tripe.

• Versatile Prep: Can be slow-braised for tenderness or quickly blanched for use in Hot Pot and cold appetizers/salads.

• Flavor Sponge: Its many folds and layers allow it to thoroughly soak up the rich sauces and broths of any dish.

• Retail Convenience: The 1lb package is ideal for home consumption, allowing for small-batch preparation of specialized dishes like Dim Sum, Sichuan Cold Dishes, or rich Asian braises.

Preparation Guidance:

Omasum requires a two-step process:

(1) Initial Cleaning/Parboiling: Rinse thoroughly and briefly boil to cleanse.

(2) Final Cooking: Either simmer/braise for a long time (1–2 hours) for a softer chew, or slice thinly and quickly blanch for seconds in a hot pot/soup for a crisp bite.

Product is Frozen. Keep frozen at 0∘F (−18∘C) or below. Thaw in the refrigerator before washing and cooking.
