Liverwurst is an exceptional source of heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the body and is crucial for preventing anemia and maintaining healthy energy levels.
High in Vitamin A (in the form of retinol), which is essential for healthy vision, robust immune function, and proper cellular growth.
Provides a significant amount of Vitamin B12, a nutrient vital for nerve function, DNA synthesis, and the formation of red blood cells.
A typical Liverwurst Sandwich contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the specific type of bread and liverwurst used, and whether you add butter.
It can be part of a balanced diet when eaten in moderation. Liverwurst is an excellent source of iron, Vitamin A, and Vitamin B12. However, it is also high in sodium, cholesterol, and saturated fat, so it's best enjoyed as an occasional treat.
This sandwich is best served immediately after assembly. If made ahead, the bread can become soggy from the mustard and moisture in the liverwurst. For meal prep, store the sliced ingredients separately and assemble just before eating.
In the United States, the terms are often used interchangeably. Traditionally, Braunschweiger is a specific type of smoked liverwurst originating from Braunschweig, Germany. Both are delicious in this sandwich.
It pairs perfectly with classic deli sides like German potato salad, coleslaw, a crisp dill pickle spear, or a simple handful of potato chips.
