Linguica is a traditional Portuguese sausage known for its smoky, garlicky flavor. Made primarily from pork, it is seasoned with a blend of garlic, paprika, and other spices, then cured and often smoked for a rich, savory taste. Popular in Portuguese cuisine, linguica is used in dishes like feijoada, soups, or grilled as a standalone meat. While it provides a good source of protein, linguica is high in fat and sodium, which should be considered for those monitoring heart health or maintaining a low-sodium diet. Additionally, its preservation methods may include nitrates, common in processed meats. Enjoyed in moderation, it remains a flavorful ingredient that brings essence and authenticity to Portuguese-inspired recipes.
