Peppered ham is a savory, flavorful deli meat made from cured and smoked pork, generously coated with a blend of cracked black pepper and seasonings. Originating from traditional European methods of preserving and flavoring meats, it has become a popular choice in American and global cuisines. Peppered ham is a rich source of protein, providing essential amino acids for muscle growth and repair. It also contains important vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. However, it is often high in sodium due to the curing process, which may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. Additionally, some commercially prepared versions might include added preservatives and flavorings. Ideal for charcuterie boards, sandwiches, or as a breakfast side, peppered ham balances indulgence with nutritional benefits when enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
