About Cured meat
Cured meat refers to meat that has been preserved through methods such as salting, smoking, or air-drying, often resulting in bold flavors and extended shelf life. Common types include salami, prosciutto, and bacon, which are staples in Italian, Spanish, and other European cuisines. Nutritionally, cured meats are a good source of protein and essential minerals like iron and zinc. They also contain high levels of sodium due to the curing process, which can be a concern for individuals watching their salt intake. Some varieties may include added sugars or nitrates, which have been linked to health risks when consumed in excess. While cured meats can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, moderation is key, and pairing them with nutrient-dense foods like fresh vegetables can help offset their less healthy components while maximizing flavor and enjoyment.
