| 'cured meat' art by Christine |
I recently heard of uncured pepperoni pizzas. It made me curious to know the difference between cured and uncured meats. This link explains it well. Uncured meats use naturally occurring agents such as celery powder which naturally transforms into nitrites. If nitrites are not added, meat is considered uncured. Uncured meat has a paler colour. People with allergies to nitrites may want to try uncured meats. The meat must be preserved in some way to avoid spoiling. The debate is whether it is any healthier.
Have you tried uncured meats, I haven't yet.

That is really interesting. And the artwork is lovely!
We eat very little meat, but occasionally I will buy uncured bacon or uncured salami for a certain dish I want to make. We always eat uncured meats.
My father died of colon cancer, which is caused by eating cured meat such as hot dogs, sausage, ham, etc. Stay away from nitrates.
Cured or uncured - no meat for me ...lol.
A fabulous painting though!

I do like your artwork.

They probably about the same health wise.
Back in the day, we only had uncured here. It also has a more real taste and cleaner flavour. We found, anyway. But I guess that depends on the brand and quality, too.
Interesting. I can't keep up with what's supposed to be healthy or not these days.
what a cool sketch - and I haven't read anything about uncured meats - interesting though.
Thank you for this information. I did not know what it meant.
Interesting... And a nice sketch. :)
