Smoked ham is a flavorful meat product made from the hind leg of a pig, cured and preserved through smoking. Popular across various cuisines, especially American, European, and Southern BBQ traditions, its rich, savory taste is enhanced by the infusion of smoky aromas during the preparation process. Smoked ham is rich in protein, vitamins like B6 and B12, and essential minerals like zinc and selenium, which play a key role in immune health and metabolism. However, it is also high in sodium due to the curing process and may contain added preservatives or sugar in certain varieties. Moderation is key, as excessive consumption could contribute to higher blood pressure or other health concerns. Smoked ham is often enjoyed in sandwiches, festive meals, or paired with fruits like pineapple for a sweet-and-savory combination.
