About Bitter ball
Bitter Ball, also known as Bitterbal, is a traditional Dutch snack known for its crispy texture and savory filling. These small, round croquettes are made with a thick roux-based mixture of shredded beef or veal, butter, flour, broth, herbs, and spices. The mixture is chilled, shaped into balls, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried to golden perfection. Bitter Ball is typically enjoyed as a bar snack or appetizer, often paired with mustard for dipping. Though deliciously indulgent, Bitter Ball is not particularly healthy due to its high fat content from frying and the rich filling. It is a source of protein from the meat, but it also contains substantial amounts of calories, saturated fats, and carbohydrates. Moderation is key when including Bitter Ball in your diet, as its appeal lies in occasional enjoyment rather than nutritional benefit. This snack reflects Dutch culinary tradition and the comfort of hearty, flavorful foods.
