About Slices of ham
Slices of ham are thinly cut portions of cured or cooked pork, often taken from the leg of the animal. A staple in many Western cuisines, ham has origins dating back to ancient Europe, where curing and smoking methods were developed to preserve the meat. Ham is rich in protein, providing essential amino acids for muscle repair and maintenance. It also contains key nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support energy production and overall health. However, ham can be high in sodium due to the curing process, and certain varieties may contain added sugars or preservatives. When consumed in moderation, lean ham can be part of a balanced diet, but individuals should opt for minimally processed options and be mindful of portion sizes to reduce sodium intake and avoid excessive fat.
