Published on November 3, 2019, ham has been a beloved ingredient in many households for its rich flavor and versatility.
For many, the mere mention of ham conjures up images of a classic ham and cheese sandwich, a staple in many cuisines. However, ham is more than just a sandwich filling; it's a meat from the hind leg of a pig, preserved through salting, dry or wet curing, with or without smoking.
Depending on the preservation process, ham can have a unique salty, sweet smoky flavor. When dry-aged, it can be salty and chewy, making it a delight for those who enjoy a good ham.
One of the advantages of ham is that it's a good source of protein and is always ready to eat, making it a convenient option for busy households.
Ham is available in a variety of types, including black forest ham, country ham, and low-fat ham, sandwich ham, cooked whole ham, cooked honey glazed ham, smoked gammon ham, and green gammon bone-in. Prices range from Sh250 for a 200g slice pack to Sh3,000 for cooked ham.
Whether you're a fan of ham or just looking to try something new, there's a type of ham to suit every taste and budget.
