Pepperoni sticks are a flavorful snack originating from Italian-American cuisine, known for their robust, zesty taste. Made primarily from a blend of cured pork and beef, they are seasoned with spices such as paprika, garlic, and fennel to achieve their signature smoky profile. The sticks undergo a drying process that enhances their texture and shelf life. While rich in protein, pepperoni sticks are also high in sodium and saturated fat due to the curing and seasoning process, making them a less ideal choice for heart-healthy diets. They are a convenient, portable snack often enjoyed on their own or paired with cheese. Moderation is key when incorporating them into a balanced diet, and they are best complemented with nutrient-dense foods to offset their indulgent nature.
