This type of ham does not contain nitric acid and nitric acid. The Agricultural Department stipulates that "fresh" and "uncured".

Kesten said that each ham contains different nutrients, and ham is the source of selenium and all the necessary nine amino acids, as well as iron, tin and different vitamin B, and vitamin B12 that can only be found in foods with animal sources.

Kesten pointed out that research over the past decade has pointed out that eating processed meat is related to some diseases, especially to increase the risk of developing brain cancer, and ham has a higher content due to its preservation method.
