| '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.
