Unfortunately, there is no standard for national additives and some manufacturers fail to provide usage information. If you are in doubt about how much curing salt (preservative/sodium nitrite) or another mix of condiments you purchased, use this calculator to find out the limit established for meat products. Select the type, choose the food additive and see the established limit.

The flavor of the mixture of meat and cheese is much more complex than a sausage that only has one type of protein and fat in cubes. Continue reading Linguiça colonial para churrasco
