Sliced ham is a preparation of lean pork that is cured, smoked, or cooked and thinly cut for convenient use in meals and snacks. Ham is commonly enjoyed across various cuisines but is particularly associated with European and American traditions such as sandwiches, salads, and festive platters. It is a good source of protein, essential for muscle repair and growth, and provides important vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. However, ham is often high in sodium due to its curing process and may contain added sugars or preservatives depending on its preparation. Moderation is key when incorporating sliced ham into a balanced diet, and opting for low-sodium or nitrate-free varieties can improve its nutritional profile.
