Cold cuts, also known as deli meats or sliced luncheon meats, are pre-cooked or cured meats served cold, often in sandwiches or on charcuterie boards. Common types include turkey, ham, salami, roast beef, and bologna. Originating from European cuisines, cold cuts are widely valued for their convenience and versatility. They are typically seasoned, smoked, or brined to enhance flavor and preserve freshness. Nutritionally, lean options like turkey or chicken can be relatively low in calories and fat, offering a decent source of protein. However, many cold cuts contain high levels of sodium and preservatives, such as nitrates, which may pose health risks if consumed frequently. Choosing reduced-sodium varieties or those labeled “nitrate-free” can be healthier alternatives. While cold cuts are a flavorful and practical option for quick meals, moderate consumption is advised to balance nutritional benefits and potential risks.
