Salami

Salami is a cured, often spiced and air-dried sausage with roots in Italian and Central European charcuterie; it's commonly served sliced on sandwiches, antipasti boards or as a pizza topping. It provides around 21.1g of protein per 100g, making it a convenient protein-rich deli option, but it is a processed, cured meat that is relatively high in saturated fat and salt. As a cured meat, Salami delivers a complete amino-acid profile and convenient protein, but it lacks fiber and plant-based protective phytochemicals found in vegetables and whole foods, so pairing small amounts with vegetables or choosing leaner, lower-sodium alternatives can improve the overall meal balance.
