Spam
Spam is a canned, cooked luncheon meat made from pork (and often added ham and preservatives) that originated in the United States and is widely used in quick meals, sandwiches and fried dishes — it is also popular in Hawaiian and Asian-inspired recipes. It provides a convenient source of animal protein but is a highly processed product with added preservatives and flavorings. It contains about 1.41g of salt per 100g, so it can contribute a large portion of daily sodium intake. While Spam supplies usable protein and a complete amino-acid profile useful for quick meals, its processed nature and higher levels of saturated fat and sodium mean it’s best enjoyed occasionally or swapped for leaner, lower-sodium alternatives when trying to eat healthier.
