About Longganisa
Longganisa is a traditional Filipino sausage known for its rich flavors and variety. Made from ground pork or chicken, it's mixed with seasonings like garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and spices, creating either sweet or savory profiles depending on the regional recipe. Often enjoyed at breakfast alongside rice and eggs, Longganisa is a staple in Filipino cuisine, reflecting the country's fusion of Spanish and indigenous culinary influences. While it's a great source of protein and energy, Longganisa can also be high in fat, sodium, and sugar, making moderation key for a balanced diet. For healthier options, some preparations substitute lean meats or reduce added sugars. It's a flavorful experience rooted in tradition, but its nutritional content warrants mindful consumption for those managing dietary concerns.
