Pasturma is a highly seasoned, air-dried cured beef originating from the cuisines of the Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean, and Central Asia. Made by pressing, salting, and coating beef—often cuts like brisket or loin—with an aromatic spice mixture called fenugreek paste (including garlic, paprika, and cumin), it boasts bold, savory flavors. Widely enjoyed sliced thin, it’s a staple in Turkish, Armenian, and Lebanese cuisines. Rich in protein and low in carbohydrates, pasturma can be a good source of energy for those following high-protein diets. Its spices also contain beneficial antioxidants. However, it is high in sodium and saturated fats due to the curing process, which can be concerning for heart health if consumed in excess. Enjoy pasturma in moderation as part of a balanced diet and pair it with fresh vegetables for a more nutritious meal.
