Lunchmeat, also known as deli meat, cold cuts, or sandwich meat, refers to pre-cooked or cured meat slices typically used in sandwiches, wraps, or salads. Common types include turkey, ham, chicken, roast beef, and salami. These meats are often seasoned, salted, or smoked for flavor and may contain preservatives like nitrates to extend shelf life. Lunchmeats are popular in Western cuisines, especially in American and European diets. While they are a convenient source of protein, not all lunchmeats are equally nutritious. Leaner options like turkey and chicken are lower in fat and calories, making them a healthier choice. However, many cold cuts contain high levels of sodium, saturated fats, and additives, which could contribute to health issues if consumed in excess. Opting for low-sodium, nitrate-free varieties and pairing them with whole grains and fresh vegetables can help create a more balanced meal.
