About Musta makkara

Musta makkara, or "black sausage," is a traditional Finnish blood sausage originating from the Tampere region. Its key ingredients include pork, pig blood, barley, and rye flour, giving it a dark color and hearty texture. Often enjoyed warm, musta makkara is served with lingonberry jam, which balances its rich and savory flavor. This dish is a significant source of iron and protein due to its blood content, making it a nutrient-dense choice. However, it is also high in sodium and fat, typical of sausages, which should be considered for those monitoring their intake. As a regional specialty, musta makkara showcases Finnish culinary traditions while reflecting an economical and sustainable use of ingredients.
