Gelbwurst is a classic sausage from Bavaria and Franconia in southern Germany. It’s a type of cooked sausage, known for its mild flavor, soft texture, and its distinctive pale yellow color.

The name literally means “yellow sausage,” and it comes from the color of the casing. Back in the day, the outer layer was actually dyed yellow using saffron, which is how it got its name in the first place.
