About Longanisa
Longanisa is a flavorful, sausage-like staple in Filipino cuisine, celebrated for its diverse regional styles and distinct savory-sweet or garlicky taste. Traditionally crafted with ground pork, it can also feature chicken or beef variants. Seasonings include garlic, vinegar, sugar, and spices, with some recipes incorporating natural or artificial coloring for visual appeal. While longanisa is a delicious source of protein and energy, it is often high in sodium, fat, and sugar, depending on the recipe. Health-conscious individuals may opt for leaner meat alternatives or reduced-sugar versions to enjoy this dish in moderation. Commonly paired with garlic fried rice and fried eggs, longanisa is a beloved comfort food that reflects the rich culinary heritage of the Philippines.
