Deli meat, also known as luncheon meat or cold cuts, is a category of pre-cooked or cured meats, often sliced thin, that are served cold. Common varieties include turkey, ham, chicken, roast beef, and salami, originating from diverse culinary traditions ranging from European charcuterie to American sandwich staples. These meats are typically seasoned, cured, or smoked, depending on the type, and often contain preservatives like nitrates or nitrites to prolong shelf life. While deli meats are a convenient source of protein, some options may contain high levels of sodium, saturated fats, and processed additives, which can impact heart health if consumed in excess. Choosing lower-sodium, nitrate-free, or lean options like turkey can make them a healthier choice. Pairing deli meats with whole-grain bread and fresh vegetables can further boost their nutritional value, making them a versatile component of many diets.
