About Sweedish meatballs

Swedish Meatballs are a classic dish rooted in Scandinavian cuisine, particularly Sweden, where they're known as "köttbullar." These bite-sized meatballs are typically made from a blend of ground beef and pork, seasoned with spices like allspice and nutmeg, then pan-fried until golden. They're traditionally served with a creamy gravy, lingonberry jam, and boiled potatoes or noodles. While high in protein due to the meat content, they can also be high in saturated fat depending on the meat cut and cream used. The addition of lingonberries provides antioxidants, while pairing them with vegetables or whole grains can improve the dish's overall nutritional balance. Moderation and smart substitutions, such as leaner meats or lower-fat cream, can make Swedish Meatballs a more health-conscious option without sacrificing taste.
