Extra Lean Ham is a high-protein deli meat crafted from carefully trimmed pork leg or loin, offering minimal fat content compared to regular hams. Known for its origin in European cuisine, particularly Austria and Germany, ham has a long history as a staple food due to its versatility and flavor. Extra Lean Ham is seasoned with salt and might include added water, preservatives, or flavor enhancers, but it stands out for its lower calorie count and reduced fat—ideal for those seeking a lighter meat option. Rich in vitamins such as B6 and B12, as well as essential minerals like zinc and iron, it supports overall metabolic health and immune function. However, it’s important to be mindful of sodium levels, as processed meats like Extra Lean Ham can contain significant salt. Pairing this ham with whole grains and fresh vegetables can make it part of a balanced, healthy meal.
