Nutrition Facts For 1 Link of Fresh Polish Sausage

Fresh Polish sausage, often called "biała kiełbasa" (white sausage) in Poland and sometimes in the United States, is a raw, uncured, and unsmoked sausage made primarily from pork. Some recipes may also include beef or veal.
Here's a more detailed description:
- Appearance: It typically has a pale, grayish-white color due to the lack of smoking and curing. It is usually sold in links.
- Texture: The texture is generally coarse-ground with visible chunks of meat. It's encased in a natural casing.
- Flavor: The flavor profile is savory, dominated by the taste of fresh pork and seasoned with traditional Polish spices. These typically include:
- Salt Black pepper
- Garlic (often quite prominent)
- Marjoram (a key and distinctive spice)
- Sometimes other spices like mustard seed or pickling spices may be present.
- Cooking: As it is raw, fresh Polish sausage must be cooked before consumption. Common cooking methods include:
- Boiling
- Pan-frying
- Grilling
- Baking
- It's often added to soups (like żurek or white borscht) and stews.
