Italian sausage is a flavorful and versatile pork-based sausage known for its rich seasoning, which typically includes fennel, garlic, and a variety of herbs and spices. Originating from Italy, it has become a staple in Italian-American cuisine, often featured in pasta dishes, pizzas, and soups. Available in sweet or hot varieties, its spice level can range from mild to zesty, depending on the type of seasonings used. While Italian sausage is a good source of protein and rich in essential vitamins like B12 and zinc, it also tends to be high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories. Opting for leaner versions or incorporating it in moderation can make it part of a balanced diet. For those seeking healthier options, chicken or turkey-based Italian sausages are available, offering similar flavors with reduced fat and calorie content.
