About Filipino sausage
Filipino Sausage, commonly known as "longganisa," is a flavorful staple of Filipino cuisine. Originating in the Philippines, longganisa varies regionally but is typically made from ground pork, though chicken or beef are sometimes used. The meat is seasoned with a mixture of garlic, vinegar, salt, pepper, and occasionally sweeteners like sugar or honey, creating distinct savory or sweet variants. While rich in protein, longganisa is also high in saturated fat and sodium, making moderation key to its inclusion in a balanced diet. Traditionally, it pairs with garlic rice and eggs for a popular Filipino breakfast known as "silog." Some modern recipes substitute leaner meats and reduce sodium to enhance its health profile. Though indulgent, longganisa is deeply rooted in culinary tradition, offering a taste of the Philippines with its robust flavors and hearty appeal.
