Sliced cured ham is a flavorful meat product made from pork that has been seasoned, salted, and aged through a curing process. Commonly associated with European cuisines, particularly Spanish (jamón), Italian (prosciutto), and German (Schwarzwälder Schinken), cured ham offers a rich, savory taste. It often contains added spices, nitrates, and sodium as part of its preservation method. While it is high in protein, making it a satisfying snack or ingredient, its sodium content is significant and worth monitoring, especially for those managing blood pressure. It can also contain fats depending on the cut, contributing to calories but providing a source of energy. Enjoyed in moderation, sliced cured ham pairs well with fruits or whole-grain options to balance its nutritional profile.
