Canned Ham

Canned Ham is a shelf-stable, precooked pork product packed in a can and commonly used as a convenient protein for sandwiches, salads, casseroles and picnic-style meals. It is known for its long shelf life and ready-to-eat convenience. Canned Ham is a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 20.9g of protein per 100g, which makes it useful when a quick protein boost is needed; however, many canned hams are processed and seasoned, so they can be high in sodium and added preservatives. Compared with fresh meats it offers excellent protein quality and tends to be filling, but its processed nature and salt content are the main nutritional trade-offs to consider when choosing it regularly.
