Mämmi is traditionally made of water, [[rye]] flour, and powdered [[malted]] rye, seasoned salt, and dried powdered [[Seville orange]] [[Zest (ingredient)|zest]]. The mixture is then allowed to go through a slow natural sweetening process before being baked in an oven until set with [[Maillard reaction]]. Preparation takes many hours, and after baking the mämmi is stored chilled for three to four days before being ready to eat.<ref>Nordic Recipe Archive [http://www.dlc.fi/~marianna/gourmet/mammi.htm "Mämmi "]</ref> Instead of being allowed to sweeten naturally, traditionally, commercially made mämmi is usually seasoned with dark [[molasses]]. Traditional mämmi tastes aromatic sweet, having only up to 2% sugar, but commercially produced mämmi can have as much as 20% sugar and tastes different, not so aromatic sweet. Mämmi has up to 10% protein and is rich in trace elements.{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}} Mämmi was traditionally stored in small bowls made of [[birch bark]] called ''tuokkonen'' or ''rove''. Finnish [[Packaging and labeling|packaging]] still prints birch bark-like texture on the carton boxes.
Generally, mämmi is eaten cold with either milk or cream and sugar, and less commonly with vanilla sauce. In olden times{{When|date=November 2016}} it was also eaten by some spread on top of a slice of bread.{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}} There is a Finnish society for mämmi<ref>The Finnish Mämmi Association [http://www.kolumbus.fi/ahmed.ladarsi/index.html "Suomen Mämmiseura ry"]</ref> founded by Ahmed Ladarsi, the former chef at the Italian Embassy in Helsinki, who has developed around fifty recipes containing mämmi.<ref>Helsinki Sanomat, 16.3.2005 [http://www.hs.fi/english/article/M%C3%A4mmi+Maestro+Ahmed+Ladarsi+is+an+expert+on+a+Finnish+delicacy/1101978893004 "Mämmi Maestro.
