About Biscuit and gravy
Biscuit and gravy is a classic comfort dish originating from the Southern United States, commonly enjoyed as a hearty breakfast. It features fluffy, buttery biscuits topped with a rich, creamy gravy typically made from pork sausage, flour, milk, and seasonings such as black pepper. The biscuits provide carbohydrates and can offer some fiber when made with whole-grain flour, while the gravy delivers protein from sausage. However, the dish is often high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories, especially when prepared with traditional ingredients. Healthier versions may substitute lean turkey sausage, low-fat milk, or whole wheat biscuits to reduce fat and increase nutrients. While not inherently a light choice, biscuit and gravy is cherished for its warmth and satisfying flavors, making it an occasional indulgence or a staple in Southern-style cuisine.
