[edit]Proven originated in the city ofCagayan de Oro.It is also eaten inCebu City,Iligan Cityand other parts ofMindanao.[2][3]
Nutritional value
[edit]A nutritional study conducted by theUniversity of the Philippines Los Baños(UPLB) noted that, as with most street foods, the microbial quality of the proben is a concern. However, the study noted that the pathogenic food-borne microbes in proben are mostly destroyed when it is cooked. The microbes only return if the proben is stored at ambient temperature after having been cooked. The study concluded that the risk of contamination can be reduced simply "through practice of personal hygiene employing standard cooking temperature (171–185 deg C) and time (10–15 min)" and by making sure that the proben is cooked just before it is eaten.[4]
Raw proven had 39.08% crude protein, 25.59% carbohydrates, 25.59% crude fat, 0.61%crude fiberand 51.50 Kcal per 100 g.[4]
The same study showed that the nutrient content of newly cooked proben increased by "crude fat (31%),fiber(131%),carbohydrates(21%), caloric contents (935%),crude protein(26%),calcium(21%),phosphorus(4%),iron(44 %), ash (32%) and moisture (56%). "[4]
