'''Mämmi''' ({{IPA-fi|ˈmæmːi|lang}}; {{lang-sv|label=[[Finland Swedish|Swedish]]|memma}}) is a traditional [[Finland|Finnish]] dessert, eaten around [[Easter]].
Mämmi is traditionally made of water, [[rye]] flour, ground [[malted]] rye, salt, and dried, ground [[Seville orange]] [[Zest (ingredient)|zest]]. The mixture is then left to sweeten naturally, before being baked in an oven<ref>{{cite web
Mämmi is traditionally made of water, [[rye]] flour, powdered [[malted]] rye, seasoned salt and dried, powdered [[Seville orange]] [[Zest (ingredient)|zest]]. The mixture is then left to sweeten naturally, before being baked in an oven until set, by which time the colour and flavour has developed due to the [[Maillard reaction]]. After baking, the mämmi is chilled for three to four days before serving.<ref>Nordic Recipe Archive [http://www.dlc.fi/~marianna/gourmet/mammi.htm "Mämmi "]</ref> Unlike traditional mämmi, which is left to sweeten naturally, commercially made mämmi is usually seasoned with dark [[molasses]]. Traditional mämmi has an aromatic and sweet flavour, consisting of just 2% sugar or less, whereas commercially produced mämmi can contain as much as 20% sugar and is therefore much different in flavour. Mämmi has up to 10% protein and is rich in trace elements.{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}} Traditionally, mämmi was stored in small boxes made of [[birch bark]] called ''tuokkonen'' or ''rove'', the appearance of which is now mimicked by commercial packaging.▼

Today, [[Finns]] seldom make mämmi at home and most modern mämmi is factory-made. Traditional versions of mämmi are sold in Finland with the labels ''perinteinen'' (traditional) or ''luomu'' (organic). Some people of Finnish descent in [[North America]] and [[Australia]] still make mämmi at home.<ref>{{Cite web
