Cured Ham

Cured Ham is a dry‑cured pork product common in many cuisines (for example Jinhua ham in China or dry‑cured hams in Europe) known for its intense savory flavor and long shelf life. It is a concentrated source of animal protein, providing 27g of protein per 100g, and also supplies trace minerals and B‑vitamins such as selenium, thiamine and niacin. While it delivers high‑quality amino acids for satiety and muscle maintenance, it is a product preserved with salt and is best eaten in moderation because of its high sodium content.
