About Filipino chorizo
Filipino Chorizo, locally known as "longganisa," is a flavorful sausage that varies by region but typically features a sweet, savory, and garlicky profile. Its base is usually ground pork, mixed with seasonings such as sugar, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, and spices. Some versions include natural casings, while others are skinless for convenience. Originating from Spanish culinary influence, this sausage has been adapted to suit Filipino tastes, making it a staple in traditional Filipino breakfasts alongside rice and eggs. While rich in protein, it can be high in fat, sodium, and sugar, depending on the recipe. Opting for homemade or leaner versions can help manage its nutritional impact. Moderation is key, as its bold flavors make it an indulgent addition to a balanced meal. Since Filipino Chorizo is often pan-fried, choosing healthier cooking methods may reduce excess oil for a lighter option.
