Apparently, the ancient Aztecs used to eat Menudo to cure everything from hangovers to indigestion. And it's not just an old wives' tale - the tripe in Menudo contains proteins and minerals that can actually help soothe your stomach and promote digestion. Who knew your grandmother's favorite remedy was actually backed by science?
But what about the spices in Menudo? Don't they, like, irritate your stomach or something? Not necessarily - the chilies and garlic in Menudo have anti-inflammatory properties that can actually help reduce inflammation in your digestive tract. It's like a match made in heaven: your stomach and Menudo, living together in perfect harmony.
