About Leg ham
Leg ham is a popular cured meat made from the rear leg of a pig, commonly enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Western traditions. It is typically prepared by brining, smoking, or baking, which enhances its flavor and extends its shelf life. Leg ham is a rich source of protein, providing essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair and overall body function. It also contains key nutrients like iron and B vitamins, including B12, which support energy production and red blood cell formation. However, leg ham can be high in sodium due to the curing process, and some varieties may contain added sugars or preservatives. Consumption in moderation is recommended as part of a balanced diet. Leg ham is versatile, often featured in sandwiches, salads, festive meals, or paired with fruits and cheese for a savory-sweet combination.
