Swedish meatballs, or "köttbullar," are a beloved staple of Swedish cuisine, often served with creamy gravy, lingonberry jam, and boiled or mashed potatoes. These bite-sized meatballs are typically made with a mix of ground beef and pork, blended with breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onions, and an array of spices like nutmeg and allspice. While their taste is comforting and savory, their nutritional profile varies depending on preparation. They are a good source of protein and certain vitamins and minerals provided by the meat and eggs. However, traditional recipes can be high in saturated fats due to the use of cream-based sauces and fatty meats. Pairing Swedish meatballs with lighter sides like steamed vegetables or whole grains can balance their richness while still enjoying their delicious cultural heritage.
