Cooked salami is a seasoned sausage made from ground meat, typically pork or beef, mixed with spices, fat, and salt. Originating from Italian and European cuisine, it is cooked and cured, resulting in a flavorful, ready-to-eat deli meat. While it offers protein and essential minerals like iron and zinc, cooked salami also tends to be high in sodium and saturated fats, which may impact heart health if consumed excessively. It often includes spices like garlic and black pepper and may have preservatives to prolong shelf life. Popular in sandwiches, antipasto platters, or as a snack, moderation is key to enjoying cooked salami as part of a balanced diet. Opting for low-sodium or reduced-fat versions can help mitigate some health drawbacks.
