About Ham

Ham is a savory and versatile meat made from the hind leg of a pig, typically cured through salting, smoking, or aging. It originates from European culinary traditions, with notable varieties like Italian prosciutto, Spanish jamón, and American country ham. Rich in protein, ham is also a good source of vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, zinc, phosphorus, and selenium, which support energy production and immune health. However, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats, depending on the curing process and preparation method, so moderation is key. Leaner cuts of ham can be a healthier choice for those looking to enjoy its flavor while managing fat intake. Widely used in sandwiches, salads, and festive meals, ham is prized for its distinctive taste and ability to complement a variety of dishes.
