Salami is a type of cured sausage originating from Italy and is now enjoyed worldwide. Made primarily from ground pork or beef, salami is seasoned with a blend of spices such as garlic, black pepper, fennel, and paprika, then fermented and air-dried to develop its rich, tangy flavor and firm texture. While it's a staple in Italian cuisine, often featured on charcuterie boards, sandwiches, and pizzas, salami is also embraced in many global cuisines. Nutritionally, salami is high in protein and provides essential vitamins like B12 and minerals such as zinc and iron. However, it is also high in sodium and saturated fats, so moderation is key. It's best enjoyed as an occasional treat within a balanced diet. Look for preservative-free or lower-sodium varieties for a healthier choice.
