About Lunch meat
Lunch meat, also known as deli meat or cold cuts, is pre-sliced, cured, or cooked meat often served in sandwiches, wraps, or salads. Common types include turkey, chicken, ham, roast beef, and salami. Typically made from whole muscle cuts or processed meat blends, lunch meat may be seasoned, smoked, or preserved with additives like sodium, nitrates, and phosphates to enhance flavor and extend shelf life. Originating from traditional preservation methods in European cuisines, it has become a staple in many global diets. While lean options like turkey and chicken provide protein with less fat, processed varieties often contain higher sodium and preservatives, which can contribute to health risks if consumed excessively. Opting for low-sodium, nitrate-free versions and pairing them with nutrient-rich ingredients like whole-grain bread and fresh vegetables can make lunch meat a more balanced choice in meals.
