PROSCIUTTO CHIPS

FOOD AS MEDICINE

Pasture-raised pork is an excellent source of B vitamins and is high in anti-inflammatory, heart healthy and cancer-fighting omega 3 fatty acids as well as CLAs. Pork is also an excellent source of the amino acid tryptophan, which we usually associate with our Thanksgiving turkey, which the body uses as a precursor to serotonin. When choosing meats like prosciutto look for uncured with no added nitrates or nitrites (ingredients should be just pork and salt!) form a pasture-raised source. These are a great garnish for soups or salads or a keto-friendly addition to your cheese plate!
