About Weisswurst

Weisswurst is a traditional Bavarian sausage made primarily from veal and pork back fat, flavored with parsley, lemon, and mild spices like mace and cardamom. Its name, meaning "white sausage," reflects its pale color, resulting from the absence of curing or smoking. Typically eaten before noon and served with sweet mustard and pretzels, Weisswurst is a staple of German cuisine, especially in southern Germany. While it is high in protein, Weisswurst can also be calorie-rich due to its fat content, and sodium levels may be significant depending on preparation. It’s best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Steamed and boiled cooking methods for Weisswurst help retain its softness without adding additional fats, making it a popular festive treat during Oktoberfest and beyond.
