About Sliced cured meats
Sliced cured meats, including options like salami, prosciutto, and chorizo, are flavorful proteins originating from various culinary traditions such as Italian, Spanish, and French cuisines. Made by preserving meat through salting, smoking, or air-drying, they often include pork or beef combined with spices and seasonings. While they are rich in protein and offer essential nutrients like iron and zinc, many cured meats are also high in sodium and saturated fats, which should be factored into a balanced diet. Some varieties may contain preservatives such as nitrates or nitrites, which have been linked to health concerns when consumed in excess. For a healthier choice, look for minimally processed options and pair them with nutrient-dense foods like fresh vegetables or whole-grain crackers to round out their indulgent taste with moderation. Enjoyed globally, they remain a popular addition to charcuterie boards and savory dishes.
