Sandwich ham is a sliced, cured pork product commonly used in sandwiches and wraps. Originating from European cuisine, particularly in countries like Germany and France, ham has become a worldwide favorite due to its rich flavor and versatility. It’s typically made from the leg of the pig, cured through salting, smoking, or aging processes to enhance taste and preserve the meat. While sandwich ham is a good source of protein, essential for muscle growth and repair, it is often high in sodium due to the curing process. Some varieties may also contain added sugars or preservatives. Moderation is key, as excessive consumption of processed meats is linked to health risks such as increased sodium intake and higher levels of saturated fat. Opting for reduced-sodium or leaner options can make sandwich ham a more nutritious choice for meals.
