If you’re a foodie or a person with a pulse you definitely know that “natural” is a big buzz word these days. When it comes to homemade sausage, natural ingredients are usually high on the priority list. If you want your sausage considered organic, you better stick with Natural Sausage Casings.

A natural sausage casing tends to deliver the best flavor in the final product as it enhances and complements the natural juices and quality of the meat and spices. Due to its breathability, Natural Casings are also popular amongst the DIY smoker movement as they allow for deep smoke penetration. Natural Casings are transparent, so they also serve as a lovely way to highlight your sausage’s quality ingredients.

Notes for optimum performance with Natural Sausage Casings:

Must be refrigerated and stored according to package directions.
First rinse the casing to remove as much salt as you can.
Flush fresh water through the inside of the casing to remove excess salt.
Place rinsed casing in a “soaking bath”. Temperature should not exceed 90°F (32°C ).
Should ideally soak for at least one hour.
If you have casing left over, allow liquid to drain from the casing – getting rid of as much water as possible. Add salt to cover and place in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator.
It is NOT recommended to keep the casing in the freezer. This may damage the casing and make it harder to work with, even if thawing were to occur slowly.
