About Gammon
Gammon is a cured cut of pork, often taken from the hind leg, and is a staple in British cuisine. Traditionally prepared from smoked or unsmoked pork, gammon is distinguished from bacon by its curing process and is typically sold as raw meat, ready for cooking. Popular in roast dinners or served as a steak, it pairs well with sides like eggs, pineapple, or peas. Nutritionally, gammon is a rich source of protein and certain B vitamins, including B12. However, its high salt content, stemming from the curing process, makes it a less ideal choice for those monitoring sodium intake or managing blood pressure. Gammon can also carry significant fat content depending on the cut, with healthier preparations often requiring trimming excess fat. Moderation is key, allowing enjoyment of its savory flavor without compromising dietary goals.
