Description
Skinless Frankfurt Sausage
The skinless Frankfurt sausage is a sausage made primarily from finely minced and spiced pork and/or chicken meat, known for its soft and uniform texture. Unlike the traditional Frankfurt sausage, this version lacks an outer casing, which makes it easier to prepare and use in various recipes.
Originating from Frankfurt, Germany, this sausage gained worldwide popularity and is used in multiple cuisines, especially in quick and casual dishes like hot dogs, stews, and salads. In Latin American cooking, it is a versatile ingredient that adds flavor and protein with a delicate texture.
Skinless Frankfurt sausages are a moderate source of protein and fats, and due to their processing, they often contain preservatives and additives that extend their shelf life. Some varieties may be low in sodium or gluten-free, depending on the brand.
In different Spanish-speaking countries, this sausage is also known as skinless Viennese sausage, hot dog-style sausage, or simply Vienna sausage. Its versatility makes it ideal for recipes that require a touch of traditional flavor without the casing, which can alter the dish's texture.
