Mämmi was first mentioned during the 16th century, in a [[dissertation]] (in [[Latin]]).<ref>The Martha organization [http://www.martat.fi/ruoka/reseptit/mammin-historia/ "History of Mämmi "] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141126102124/http://www.martat.fi/ruoka/reseptit/mammin-historia/ |date=2014-11-26 }}, [http://www.martat.fi/info/in-english/ "Homepage"]</ref> It is claimed that it has been eaten in the southwestern region of Finland, ever since the 13th century. <ref>Nordic Recipe Archive [http://www.dlc.fi/~marianna/gourmet/mammi.htm "Origin"]</ref>
 
Traditionally mämmi is eaten during [[Easter]] time.
Originally mämmi was eaten during [[Lent]].{{clarify|date=May 2017}} Its [[laxative]] properties were associated with purification and purging.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}} As the dish keeps well for several days, it was also a convenient food for [[Good Friday]], when cooking was against religious custom.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}}
 
Nowadays [[Finns]] seldom make mämmi at home and most modern mämmi is mass-produced, traditional versions of mämmi are sold in Finland with the labels ''perinteinen'' (traditional) or ''luomu'' (organic). Some citizens of Finnish descent in North-America and Australia still make mämmi at home.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/4/21/78|title=LKML: Linus Torvalds: Linux v5.1-rc6|website=lkml.org|access-date=2019-04-21}}</ref>
