March 3rd
National Cold Cuts Day

Cold cuts, also known as lunch meat, deli meat, or sliced meats, are precooked, sliced meats that are commonly used for sandwiches, salads, and other dishes. They are typically sold in the deli section of grocery stores, and come in a wide variety of types and flavors. Common types of cold cuts include ham, turkey, chicken, roast beef, salami, bologna, and pastrami. They are usually made from beef, pork, chicken, or turkey, and may be seasoned or flavored with herbs, spices, or smoke. Some cold cuts are also processed and may contain added ingredients such as preservatives, fillers, and artificial flavors. Cold cuts are popular for their convenience and versatility, as they can be quickly prepared and added to sandwiches, wraps, and other dishes. However, they can also be high in sodium and may contain added preservatives and other additives. It's important to check the label and choose cold cuts that are lower in sodium and have fewer added ingredients.
