About Ruben

The Reuben sandwich is a classic deli favorite, originating from American cuisine, with disputed claims pointing to both New York and Nebraska. Traditionally, it features corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian or Thousand Island dressing, all layered between slices of rye bread and grilled until warm and crispy. Packed with bold flavors, the Reuben offers a mix of protein from the corned beef and calcium from the Swiss cheese. The fermented sauerkraut adds probiotics, which can support digestion and gut health. However, the sandwich can be high in sodium and saturated fats, making moderation key for health-conscious diners. Opting for leaner meats, lighter cheeses, or whole-grain rye bread can enhance its nutritional profile while preserving the satisfying taste. Perfect as a treat for hearty appetites, the Reuben remains an iconic indulgence in American culinary tradition.
