About Biscuits and gravy
Biscuits and gravy is a classic dish rooted in Southern American cuisine, often enjoyed as a hearty breakfast. The dish typically includes soft, flaky buttermilk biscuits smothered in a creamy, savory gravy made from pan drippings, flour, milk, and seasoned sausage. While beloved for its comforting flavors, biscuits and gravy is traditionally high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium, making it more of an indulgence than a health-conscious choice. The white flour in the biscuits and the fat content of the gravy provide energy but lack significant fiber or micronutrients. However, some variations might use whole-grain biscuits or leaner proteins to enhance nutritional value. While not the most healthful option, it offers warmth and satiety, serving as a nostalgic dish tied to family meals and gatherings. Moderation and mindful preparation can help balance its place in a well-rounded diet.
