What Are Beef Sausages?

You may have seen a vast variety of beef sausages being sold at your local deli. Beef sausages are made from ground meat mixed with a variety of additives, including fat, salt, seasoning, preservatives, and fillers. Two main types can be bought: fresh and cured. The fresh alternative needs to be cooked and is healthier: according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, they cannot contain any form of nitrate, which may increase risk of cancer. The cured version, which is already cooked, contains a high amount of sodium and preservatives.

Are Beef Sausages Healthy?

Beef sausages can be cooked or bought cooked for a quick meal with cooked vegetables or hot dog style sandwiches. There are several drawbacks, however. First, beef sausages are high in sodium, especially the cured variety. Adding salt is a major step of the curing process, but low-sodium options may be available at your local deli. The cured version is sure to contain some form of nitrates, and studies have suggested that nitrates contribute to cancer. Beef sausages are also high in fat, especially saturated fat, so make sure to eat in moderation. It is always possible to choose a healthier alternative by opting for turkey or vegetable sausages instead.
