Giò Thủ

Giò Thủ is a traditional Vietnamese cold-cut (a meat terrine) made from pork head and other cuts, seasoned and pressed into a loaf that is usually sliced for bánh mì, platters or snacks. It is prized for its gelatinous texture and savory, spiced flavor. Nutrition-wise, Giò Thủ is a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 21.5g of protein per 100g, and also contributes B vitamins (thiamine and niacin) and selenium; it is low in carbohydrates. As a processed pork product, it can be relatively high in salt and is best enjoyed in moderation or swapped for lower-sodium, leaner cold cuts when you want a lighter option.
