Density 12 · -10 vs Sausage & deli meats medianCooked beef salami scores 12 of 100 on the Nutrient Density Score, a Low band result ranking 57th of 60 in Sausage & deli meats. It delivers a strong 25% DV of protein and 12% DV of iron per serving, standout numbers for a cured meat, though fat still leads its 261 calories per 100 g.
It is most often sliced thin for sandwiches or a charcuterie board, with a single slice weighing about 26 g. The cure and fat content bring real drawbacks: 1140 mg of sodium and 9.9 g of saturated fat per 100 g, both worth watching if it is a regular lunch item. Ham, chopped, not canned, scores higher on density among the category's deli meats.
