Sliced meats, often referred to as deli meats or cold cuts, are thinly sliced portions of cooked or cured protein sources like turkey, chicken, ham, salami, or beef. Popular in cuisines worldwide, they are frequently used in sandwiches, wraps, salads, and charcuterie boards. While a convenient and flavorful option, sliced meats can vary in nutritional value depending on preparation. Leaner options like turkey and chicken are typically lower in fat and calories, making them a healthier choice. However, cured varieties such as salami and bologna often contain higher amounts of sodium, preservatives like nitrates or nitrites, and saturated fat. Processed versions may also include added sugars or artificial flavors. When selecting sliced meats, opt for minimally processed options with clear ingredient labels, and pair them with fresh vegetables or whole grains to create a balanced meal. Moderation is key in enjoying their benefits while managing potential health concerns.
