About Cesina

Cesina is a traditional cured meat originating from Mexico, often made from beef that is salted and air-dried. Known for its intense flavor, it is a staple in Mexican cuisine, frequently used in tacos, tortas, or served alongside eggs and beans. Cesina is rich in protein, making it a good option for muscle repair and growth. However, it’s also high in sodium due to the salting process, so it should be consumed in moderation, particularly by those monitoring their sodium intake. Its lean preparation generally keeps fat levels low, making it a lighter alternative to other processed meats. For a balanced meal, pair cesina with fresh vegetables or whole grains to round out its nutritional profile.
