What you are buying
- Rumen, reticulum, omasum: the parts of the stomach. The beef stomach has several compartments. The rumen (blanket tripe) is the largest and the most common tripe, smooth or with small papillae. The reticulum has a honeycomb surface (honeycomb tripe). The omasum is made of thin folds, like the pages of a book (book or bible tripe). ATC supplies the rumen only, not reticulum or omasum.
- Green, washed, bleached, unbleached: green: raw tripe, neither deep-washed nor bleached, dark to greenish in colour; washed: emptied and rinsed, natural grey to brown colour; bleached: washed, then treated to obtain a white colour; unbleached (natural): cleaned without any bleaching treatment, it keeps its natural colour.
- Version 1, raw green tripe: origin European Union and South America, in 10 kg fixed-weight or 20 kg variable-weight cartons.
