Pepperoni is a popular cured meat originating from Italian-American cuisine. Made primarily from a mixture of pork and beef, it is seasoned with spices like paprika, garlic, and chili peppers, giving it its distinct smoky and spicy flavor. Typically found as a topping on pizzas, it is also commonly used in sandwiches and salads. While pepperoni is rich in protein and provides essential vitamins like B12, it also tends to be high in sodium and saturated fats due to the curing process. Consuming it in moderation is recommended as part of a balanced diet. Its bold flavor and versatility have made it a favorite in the culinary world, though those mindful of their calorie and fat intake should consider occasional alternatives or lower-fat versions for healthier options.
