Spicy sausage is a flavorful staple often found in cuisines like Italian, Spanish, and Mexican cooking. Made from a blend of ground pork or beef, garlic, paprika, chili flakes, and other seasonings, it delivers a bold and zesty taste. Variations may include additional herbs like fennel or oregano, giving it a unique regional twist. While it’s high in protein, spicy sausage can also be high in saturated fats and sodium, so portion control is key. Look for leaner options or those made with turkey or chicken for a healthier alternative. Rich in flavor, it works well in pasta dishes, casseroles, or grilled on its own. The spice level varies, making it adaptable to different palates, but its heat can also boost metabolism. Always pair with vegetables and whole grains for a balanced meal.
