Romanian Smoked Pork Sausage, known as "Cârnați afumați," is a traditional delicacy rooted in Romanian cuisine, celebrated for its rich, smoky flavor and hearty texture. Typically crafted from ground pork mixed with fat, it is seasoned with garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper, often enhanced by regional spices like coriander or thyme. The mixture is stuffed into natural casings and smoked to achieve its signature aroma and golden-brown exterior. While high in protein, the sausage is also rich in saturated fats and sodium, making moderation important for balanced consumption. It offers a dense energy source but lacks fiber and essential vitamins. Often enjoyed grilled or paired with hearty sides, it represents Romania’s rustic culinary traditions. Though flavorful and satisfying, mindful portions are advised to manage its nutritional drawbacks in a healthy diet.
