About Lean ham

Lean ham is a protein-rich food made primarily from pork leg, trimmed carefully to reduce fat content while preserving flavor and texture. Originating from cured meat traditions in Europe, particularly Spain and Italy, lean ham is celebrated for its versatility in various cuisines, including sandwiches, salads, and pasta dishes. This type of ham is typically low in fat compared to regular ham, making it a healthier option for those seeking high-quality protein without excess calories. It provides essential nutrients such as B vitamins, zinc, and iron, which contribute to energy metabolism and overall health. However, lean ham can be high in sodium due to the curing process, so it's important to consume it in moderation, especially when watching salt intake. Opt for options labeled "low-sodium" whenever possible for an even healthier choice.
