Cold cuts, also known as deli meats, are pre-sliced, cooked or cured meats commonly served in sandwiches, salads, or charcuterie boards. They include varieties like ham, turkey, salami, and roast beef and originate from European culinary traditions, with influences from Italian, German, and Scandinavian cuisines. While cold cuts can be a convenient source of protein, some options are high in sodium, preservatives, and saturated fat, which may impact heart health if consumed in excess. Leaner choices like turkey or chicken breast are lower in fat and calories, making them a healthier option. Processed meats often contain nitrates or nitrites, compounds used for flavor and preservation that may raise health concerns when consumed frequently. For a balanced diet, opt for fresh, minimally processed varieties and pair cold cuts with whole-grain bread, fresh vegetables, and healthy spreads to enhance their nutritional value. Moderation and mindful choices are key.
