Uncured ham is a savory, versatile meat made from pork that has not been treated with artificial preservatives like nitrates or nitrites, relying instead on natural curing agents such as celery powder or sea salt. Originating from European culinary traditions, uncured ham is a staple in dishes ranging from sandwiches to charcuterie boards. It is rich in protein and essential vitamins like B6 and B12, contributing to muscle growth and energy production. However, it can be high in sodium and saturated fat, which may not suit diets requiring restricted salt or fat intake. Unlike its cured counterparts, uncured ham often has a milder flavor, ideal for those seeking a less processed option. As with any processed meat, moderation is key to enjoying uncured ham within a balanced diet while being mindful of its nutritional profile.
