Ham slab is a thick, flavorful cut of cured or smoked pork that is a popular choice in many Western cuisines, particularly American and European fare. Made from the hind leg of the pig, it is often seasoned and cooked to enhance its savory taste. Ham slabs are rich in protein, making them a filling option for meals, and they contain vitamins like B6 and B12, as well as minerals such as zinc and iron, which support metabolic and immune functions. However, they are also high in sodium due to the curing process and may contain added sugars depending on the preparation, making them less ideal for those watching salt or sugar intake. Ham slabs are versatile, commonly served as a centerpiece for holiday feasts or incorporated into breakfast and dinner dishes. Moderation and mindful pairing with nutrient-rich sides can help balance their indulgent qualities.
