Salo, a traditional Eastern European delicacy, is cured pork fat commonly enjoyed in Ukrainian, Russian, and Polish cuisines. Often seasoned with salt, garlic, pepper, or paprika, Salo is typically eaten raw, smoked, or cured, sometimes accompanied by rye bread, pickles, or onions. Rich in calories and fat, it is composed mainly of monounsaturated and saturated fats, which provide a source of energy. While high in fat content, Salo contains essential fatty acids that can support cell function and overall health in moderation. However, its high saturated fat levels may contribute to heart health risks if consumed excessively, so portion size is key. Salo’s notoriety in traditional diets comes from its storability and ability to sustain energy during demanding labor or cold weather, making it a staple comfort food in its regions of origin.
