It is made with a savory filling of ground pork, garlic, onion, grated carrot, celery, soy sauce, egg, salt, and pepper, all wrapped in a delicate spring roll wrapper.

PROS

Lumpia is a popular Filipino dish that is widely recognized and enjoyed around the world.

It is a tasty and crispy appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a party, a family gathering, or a simple midday snack.

The rolls are packed with delicious pork filling that is flavored with traditional Asian ingredients.

CONS

Although Lumpia is packed with flavor and protein, it is not the healthiest snack or meal option due to its high fat and calorie content.

The deep-frying process can also make it somewhat greasy and heavy.

Enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet and active lifestyle.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Lumpia provides a good source of protein and other essential nutrients.
The vegetables like carrots and celery provide vitamins and minerals, while the pork provides a meat source of protein.
However, deep-frying can increase the fat and calorie content of the dish, so it should be consumed in moderation.
You can also try baking or air frying Lumpia for a healthier version.
