About Lihapullat

Lihapullat, Finland's flavorful take on meatballs, are a cherished staple of traditional Finnish cuisine. Typically made with a mix of ground beef and pork, they are seasoned with onion, breadcrumbs, milk, and spices like allspice to achieve their signature savory taste. Often served alongside creamy mashed potatoes, lingonberry jam, and a rich brown sauce, Lihapullat offers a harmonious blend of hearty and sweet flavors. Nutritionally, these meatballs provide a solid source of protein from the meat and essential minerals like iron. However, they can be high in saturated fat depending on the meat used and the preparation of accompanying sauces. Using lean meat options and lighter dairy can help reduce calorie and fat content. Whether a comforting dinner or a festive dish, Lihapullat brings warmth and tradition to the table while allowing room for healthier adaptations.
