About Pastrama

Pastrami is a seasoned and smoked deli meat, traditionally made from beef brisket, though variations may use turkey or other meats. Originating from Eastern European and Jewish cuisine, pastrami is cured with a mixture of salt, spices like black pepper and coriander, and sometimes sugar, giving it its signature savory and slightly smoky flavor. It became a staple in American delis, often served on rye bread with mustard. While pastrami is high in protein, it can also be rich in sodium due to the curing process. It’s a flavorful option for those looking to add variety to sandwiches or salads, but should be consumed in moderation, particularly for individuals monitoring their sodium intake or seeking lower-fat alternatives. Opting for lean cuts or pairing it with nutrient-dense sides can make it a balanced addition to meals.
