Cold meats, also known as deli meats or lunch meats, include sliced cooked or cured meats such as ham, turkey, roast beef, salami, and chicken. Commonly used in sandwiches, salads, and platters, these meats originate from various cuisines, including European traditions where curing and smoking were used for preservation. Nutritionally, cold meats provide protein, essential for muscle development and repair, and some varieties contain iron and B vitamins. However, many cold meats are high in sodium and may contain preservatives like nitrates, which have been linked to health concerns when consumed in excess. Opting for low-sodium, nitrate-free, or minimally processed versions can make cold meats a healthier choice. Moderation is key, as they are best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet with fresh vegetables and whole grains.
