About Bigos

Bigos, often referred to as "hunter's stew," is a traditional Polish dish with roots in Eastern European cuisine. It features a hearty mix of sauerkraut, fresh cabbage, various meats (such as pork, beef, sausage, or game), and sometimes wild mushrooms or plums, slow-cooked to perfection. Seasoned with spices like bay leaves, black pepper, and caraway seeds, Bigos is known for its rich, tangy flavor. Packed with protein from the meat and fiber from the cabbage and sauerkraut, it can be a satisfying, nutrient-dense meal. The probiotics in sauerkraut may also support gut health. However, it can be high in sodium due to the sauerkraut and cured meats, so portion control is important. Often enjoyed during colder months, Bigos is a flavorful comfort food that represents the robust culinary traditions of Poland.
