Fried ham is a savory dish made by pan-frying thin slices of cured or smoked ham, often in a small amount of oil or butter. Originating from traditional American Southern cuisine, it is commonly served during breakfast alongside eggs, biscuits, or grits. The curing process typically involves salt and spices, lending ham its rich flavor, while smoking adds depth to its taste. Nutritionally, fried ham is a good source of protein, vitamins B6 and B12, and minerals such as iron and zinc. However, it is high in sodium and saturated fats, which may be a concern for heart health if consumed in excess. Depending on preparation methods, added oils or butter may increase calorie and fat content. Fried ham is best enjoyed as part of a balanced meal, paired with nutrient-dense foods to complement its flavors.
