About Pastrami

Pastrami is a flavorful deli meat traditionally made from beef, though variations can include turkey or lamb. Originating from Romanian and Jewish cuisines, it is crafted by curing the meat with a mixture of salt, sugar, and spices such as garlic, coriander, and black pepper. After curing, the meat is smoked and steamed to achieve its tender texture and bold taste. Pastrami is a high-protein food, making it a satisfying option for meals and snacks, but it often contains high levels of sodium due to the curing process. While it provides essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, moderation is recommended as it can be calorie-dense and high in saturated fats, depending on preparation methods. Typically enjoyed in sandwiches or wraps, pastrami remains a popular choice for those seeking a savory, protein-rich ingredient with roots in traditional Eastern European and Jewish culinary traditions.
