Smoked meat is a flavorful preserved meat often associated with Jewish and Eastern European cuisines, particularly Montreal-style smoked meat in Canada and pastrami in the United States. It is typically made from beef brisket, cured with a blend of salt, sugar, and spices, then slow-smoked to achieve its tender texture and signature smoky taste. While high in protein, smoked meat can also be high in sodium and saturated fat due to the curing and preparation process. It provides essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, contributing to energy production and red blood cell health. However, regular consumption of processed meats has been linked to potential health risks, including cardiovascular concerns when overconsumed. Moderation and pairing smoked meat with wholesome sides like fresh vegetables can make it a more balanced option within a varied diet.
