About Scrapple

Scrapple is a traditional dish with roots in Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine, originating from German settlers in the 17th century. Made by combining pork scraps—such as offal, fat, and trimmings—with cornmeal, wheat flour, and spices like sage and thyme, the mixture is boiled, set into a loaf, and typically sliced and pan-fried until crispy. Though scrapple is rich in flavor and a nostalgic comfort food for many, it is a highly processed meat product and can be high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories. On the nutritional side, it provides protein and certain vitamins and minerals from the pork. However, its inclusion in a balanced diet should be occasional, particularly for those monitoring heart health. Enjoyed as part of a traditional breakfast, scrapple remains a unique cultural staple but is best consumed in moderation.
