About Souse
Souse is a tangy, flavorful dish often associated with Caribbean and Southern American cuisine. Typically made from pickled meat—such as pork, beef, or chicken—it's marinated in a brine of vinegar, lime juice, salt, and spices, along with fresh herbs, onions, and peppers to enhance its taste. Originating from traditions of utilizing cured meats, souse is often enjoyed cold and serves as a refreshing appetizer or side dish. Nutritionally, it can be high in protein due to the meat content, but its health profile depends on preparation methods. While it is low in carbohydrates and contains essential minerals from the ingredients, the sodium levels in the brine can be significant, posing a concern for those managing blood pressure. Additionally, fattier cuts of meat used in souse may contribute to increased saturated fat intake. Moderation, combined with leaner protein choices, can make it a flavorful yet mindful addition to your diet.
