Black pudding is a traditional blood sausage commonly found in British and Irish cuisine, though variations exist across Europe. It’s made from a blend of pig’s blood, pork fat, oats or barley, and spices, all encased in a sausage casing. Known for its rich flavor and unique texture, black pudding is often served as part of a hearty breakfast or added to savory dishes. While high in protein and rich in iron, it is also relatively high in fat and salt, making moderation key to enjoying it as part of a balanced diet. Its combination of grains and blood provides a dense nutritional profile, but its calorie content may not make it ideal for those watching their weight. Popular for its robust taste, black pudding remains a distinctive ingredient in many classic comfort foods.
