About Pepperoni

Pepperoni is a popular cured sausage originating from Italian-American cuisine, often enjoyed as a topping on pizzas and in sandwiches. Made from a blend of pork and beef, it is seasoned with paprika, garlic, and a variety of spices that give it its signature bold, smoky flavor. Pepperoni is notable for its vibrant red color, which comes from both the seasoning and curing process. While it is a good source of protein, pepperoni is high in saturated fat, sodium, and preservatives, which may not be ideal for those managing heart health or blood pressure. Its concentrated flavor and versatility make it a favorite ingredient, but moderation is key when incorporating it into a balanced diet. For a healthier option, some brands offer turkey-based or reduced-fat versions. Whether crisped from the oven or enjoyed cold, pepperoni remains a classic indulgence rooted in culinary tradition.
