About Canadian ham

Canadian ham, also called "back bacon," is a lean, flavorful cut of pork traditionally made from the pork loin rather than the fattier belly. It originated in Canada and is often smoked or sometimes cured in a brine for added flavor. Unlike regular bacon, Canadian ham contains less fat and fewer calories, making it a healthier option for those watching their intake of saturated fats. Rich in protein, it also provides essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support energy metabolism and immune health. However, it does tend to be higher in sodium due to the curing process, so moderation is key to maintaining heart health. Canadian ham pairs well with breakfast dishes, sandwiches, and salads, offering a versatile and tasty protein option that complements a balanced diet.
