Paio is a traditional Portuguese sausage, celebrated for its rich, smoky flavor and versatility in cooking. Made primarily from pork, it is seasoned with paprika, garlic, and salt, giving it a distinctive taste and vibrant reddish hue. Typically smoked or cured, paio is often sliced thinly as an appetizer or added to hearty dishes like stews and soups. While it is high in protein and provides valuable minerals such as iron and zinc, paio is also known for its relatively high fat and sodium content, which may not align with heart-healthy diets when consumed in excess. Its origins deeply rooted in Portuguese cuisine, paio embodies the country's passion for robust and comforting flavors. Moderation is key to enjoying this sausage while maintaining a balanced diet.
