Vietnamese Ham
Vietnamese Ham is a traditional Vietnamese cooked pork sausage commonly used in banh mi, noodle dishes and as a sliced accompaniment; it is known for its smooth texture and mild, slightly savory flavor. It is a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 22g of protein per 100g, and also supplies B‑vitamins and selenium typical of pork products. As a highly processed meat product it tends to be higher in salt and saturated fat than whole cuts, so it’s often used in small amounts as a flavorful addition rather than a primary source of nutrition.
