No, you should never cook green tripe. It is intended for animal consumption only and should be fed raw.
Here's why you shouldn't cook or eat green tripe:
-
Not Cleaned for Human Consumption: Green tripe hasn't undergone the cleaning and processing necessary for human consumption. This includes bleaching and scaling.
-
Animal Food Only: Green tripe is specifically prepared as a raw food product for animals, primarily dogs.
-
Odor Issues: Even defrosting green tripe in a microwave can create a persistent and unpleasant odor. Cooking it would likely exacerbate this.
-
Risk of Illness: Because it isn't processed for humans, there's an increased risk of carrying bacteria or parasites that can make you sick.
Therefore, green tripe should only be given to animals in its raw state.
