About Slices of pepperoni
Slices of pepperoni are a popular cured meat topping often used in Italian-American cuisine, particularly on pizzas and sandwiches. Made from a blend of pork and beef, pepperoni is seasoned with spices like paprika, garlic, and fennel, then cured and smoked for its signature flavor. While rich in protein, pepperoni is also high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories, which makes it a less healthy choice when consumed in large amounts. It contains preservatives like nitrates and nitrites, which help maintain its vibrant red color and extend shelf life, though some studies suggest these additives should be consumed in moderation. Pepperoni’s bold flavor and satisfying texture make it a favorite indulgence, but balancing it with nutrient-rich vegetables or enjoying it sparingly can help mitigate its less healthy aspects.
