Pastrami is a flavorful deli meat made from beef, often brisket, that's cured in a brine, coated with a blend of spices like black pepper, coriander, and garlic, and then smoked to perfection. Originating from Eastern European Jewish cuisine, pastrami became a staple in American delis, particularly in New York City. As a protein-rich food, it provides essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which benefit energy production and immune health. However, due to its preparation process, pastrami is also high in sodium and may contain moderate levels of saturated fat, making portion control important. Opting for leaner cuts and pairing it with whole-grain bread and fresh vegetables can help balance its nutritional profile. Loved for its smoky, spiced flavor, pastrami remains a popular choice in sandwiches and salads worldwide.
