Slices of cured meat are thin cuts of meat, typically pork, beef, or lamb, that have been preserved through methods like salting, smoking, or air-drying. Common examples include prosciutto, salami, and chorizo, which originate from diverse culinary traditions such as Italian, Spanish, and other Mediterranean cuisines. These meats are celebrated for their rich flavors, tender textures, and versatility in dishes ranging from charcuterie boards to sandwiches. While high in protein and certain vitamins like B12 and iron, cured meats often contain elevated levels of sodium, saturated fats, and preservatives like nitrates, which can pose health risks if consumed in excess. Moderation is key, as these meats can be enjoyed as part of balanced meals when paired with whole grains, fresh vegetables, or healthy fats. Look for options with minimal additives to better align with a health-conscious diet.
