Buro
Buro (/bʊˈroʊ/), also known as fermented rice, is a traditional Filipino dish made from cooked rice and fish fermented in a mixture of salt and rice water for several days. It is a staple food in many parts of the Philippines, particularly in the provinces of Pampanga and Tarlac.
Etymology
The term "buro" is derived from the Tagalog word "buro", which means "to ferment" or "to pickle". It is believed to have originated from the practice of preserving food through fermentation, which is common in many Asian cultures.
Preparation and Consumption
Buro is typically prepared by combining cooked rice and fish in a jar, adding salt and rice water, and allowing the mixture to ferment for several days. The resulting dish is often eaten with vegetables or used as a condiment for other dishes. Despite its strong smell, buro is highly valued for its unique flavor and nutritional benefits.
