A traditional Estonian sausage made with pork blood, fat, and spices. While delicious, traditional versions often include grains as fillers and are served with sugary lingonberry jam and potatoes. For a keto version, ensure minimal fillers and skip the high-carb accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Pork blood, pork fat, pork, spices (marjoram, pepper), onion, salt, (often barley or oats as filler)
If you order it anyway
Inquire about fillers (barley/oats) in the sausage; request without lingonberry jam or potatoes. Suggest a side of plain sauerkraut or mustard.
