About Summer sausage
Summer sausage is a type of cured, semi-dry sausage traditionally made from a blend of pork and beef, though variations may include venison or other meats. Originating from European cuisine, it was crafted for extended shelf life without refrigeration, making it a popular choice for picnics and gift baskets. The seasoning typically features mustard seed, garlic, black pepper, and sometimes sweeteners like sugar or honey. Nutritionally, summer sausage is rich in protein but can be high in sodium, fat, and calories due to the curing process and added ingredients. It’s often low in carbs, making it suitable for low-carb or keto diets in moderation. However, due to the levels of preservatives like nitrates, mindful consumption is recommended. Summer sausage pairs well with cheeses and crackers, offering a satisfying snack or appetizer option.
