Many families and restaurants also transform this dish into a cold soup, increasing the coolness.

2. Mustikkapiirakka
When it comes to Finnish summer food, it is impossible not to mention Mustikkapiirakka blueberry pie. Summer is the time when Finnish forests bloom with all kinds of wild berries, of which blueberries are the most popular and favorite. People often bring baskets to pick blueberries in July and August, then use them to make cakes or eat them directly.
Mustikkapiirakka is a tart with a soft, slightly crispy crust and a filling of sweet and sour wild blueberries combined with whipped cream or whipped cream. The natural sour taste of the blueberries blends with the rich cream to create a balanced, easy-to-eat whole, suitable for picnics, afternoon tea or dessert after the main meal.
More than just a simple cake, Mustikkapiirakka is associated with summer memories for many Finns – afternoons spent picking berries with family, laughter echoing through the woods and the aroma of baking bread wafting from the oven. That is what makes this dish not only delicious but also full of emotions.
3. Graavilohi
Graavilohi is a traditional Nordic marinated raw salmon dish, extremely popular at summer parties in Finland. Unlike Japanese sashimi or South American ceviche, Graavilohi has its own unique preparation: fresh salmon fillets are marinated with salt, sugar, dill and sometimes black pepper, then left in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours.
This Finnish summer dish is rich in flavor but refreshing, and pairs well with many other dishes. Graavilohi is usually sliced thinly and served with rye bread, butter or sweet and sour mustard sauce. It is also sometimes used as a topping for salads or cold sandwiches.
The simplicity and sophistication of Graavilohi's preparation clearly reflects the Finnish culinary philosophy: respect for ingredients, preserving natural flavors and focusing on nutritional balance. For those who love fresh food, Graavilohi is a dish not to be missed on the journey to discover Finnish summer cuisine.
4. Hernekeitto
Although Hernekeitto (green pea soup) is traditionally known as a winter dish, Finns love to make a lighter and fresher version of it in the summer. It is one of the Finnish summer dishes that is popular at family parties, traditional restaurants and outdoor events.
Hernekeitto is made from dried green beans stewed with onions, carrots and sometimes a little bacon. In the summer, people often reduce the meat and add more vegetables to make the dish lighter and easier to digest. When cooled, green bean soup can also be served as a cold soup, bringing a refreshing feeling on a sunny day.
In addition to being nutritious and delicious, Hernekeitto is also highly appreciated for its tradition, associated with the long-standing cultural life of the Finnish people. A bowl of simple but rich green bean soup will make you feel the sincerity and closeness in the Nordic lifestyle.
5. Mansikkakakku
Finally, in the list of Finnish summer dishes, we cannot fail to mention Mansikkakakku strawberry cake - the sweet symbol of summer in the land of a thousand lakes. Finnish strawberries are deep red, juicy, naturally sweet and fragrant thanks to being grown under the long daylight throughout the summer. Therefore, Mansikkakakku always has a fresh, unforgettable flavor.
The cake usually has a light layer of sponge cake, alternating with whipped cream and fresh strawberry slices, covered with strawberries on top. This cake is not only a favorite dessert at birthday parties, mid-summer festivals but also appears at family and friends gatherings in sunny gardens.
With its attractive appearance and alluring taste, Mansikkakakku not only pleases the taste buds but also awakens all the senses. That is why many tourists who enjoy this cake for the first time want to return to Finland again in the summer.
Finnish summer cuisine is not noisy, sophisticated but rustic, sophisticated, clearly showing the harmony between people and nature. If you have the opportunity to visit this country in the summer, do not forget to take the time to taste the above Finnish summer dishes. Because cuisine is not simply about eating and drinking, but also a way to better understand the culture, people and pace of life of a distant but charming land like Finland.
