About Chorizo ham
Chorizo ham is a flavorful, cured pork sausage originating from Spanish and Mexican cuisines. It is typically seasoned with paprika, garlic, and other spices, which give it its distinct smoky and slightly spicy profile. Spanish chorizo is dry-cured, while Mexican chorizo is often uncooked and requires cooking before consumption. Chorizo is rich in protein, making it an energy-dense option, but it is also high in saturated fat and sodium due to its curing process. While it provides essential vitamins like B6 and B12 and minerals such as iron and zinc, it’s best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Whether enjoyed in paella, tacos, or as a standalone snack, chorizo adds depth to dishes but should be paired thoughtfully to mitigate its high salt and fat content.
