About Swedish meat boles

Swedish meatballs, or "köttbullar," are a classic dish from Sweden, often served with creamy gravy, lingonberry sauce, and mashed potatoes. These savory bites are traditionally made with a blend of ground beef and pork, breadcrumbs, milk, onions, and warming spices like allspice or nutmeg. While flavorful and comforting, their nutritional content varies depending on preparation. Rich in protein from the meat and milk, Swedish meatballs can support muscle health and energy. However, they may be high in saturated fats and sodium, particularly when paired with the gravy or fried during cooking. Opting for leaner meats, whole-grain breadcrumbs, or baking instead of frying can make this dish a healthier option. Balancing portion sizes and complementing them with vegetables can also enhance their overall nutritional profile while still enjoying this beloved Nordic comfort food.
