Line 25: '''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, 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 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. Typically, mämmi is eaten cold, with either milk or cream and sugar, and less commonly with vanilla sauce. Traditionally, it was also eaten on sliced bread as a spread.{{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.
