Deli pepperoni is a cured sausage made primarily from a blend of pork and beef, seasoned with paprika, chili pepper, garlic, and other spices to create its distinct smoky and mildly spicy flavor. Originating as an American adaptation of Italian salami, pepperoni is widely recognized for its role as a popular pizza topping and sandwich ingredient. While it provides a source of protein, deli pepperoni is also high in sodium and saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation. Its curing process can result in added preservatives, like nitrates, which some people aim to avoid. While it offers bold flavor and convenience, it’s best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, pairing it with nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to offset its less healthy aspects.
