This is thinly sliced cooked ham that has been processed to reduce its sodium content. It is typically made from pork and cured. The reduced sodium formulation makes it a choice for those monitoring their salt intake.
How people cook with it
This deli ham is a versatile ingredient for quick meals and sandwiches. It can be incorporated into various dishes for added flavor and substance.

Open the package and separate the desired number of ham slices. For sandwiches, layer them between bread with your favorite condiments and toppings. You can also add them to wraps, omelets, or scrambled eggs. For a quick appetizer, roll slices with cheese or vegetables.
