About Beef, cured, corned beef, canned
Corned beef is beef — usually brisket — cured in a salty brine, the 'corns' being the coarse grains of salt once used to preserve it. This canned version is fully cooked and ready to slice or flake, a long-keeping pantry meat behind dishes from corned-beef hash to a Reuben sandwich.
It is a solid source of protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B12 from the beef, at around 250 calories per 100 grams. The defining feature, though, is salt: the curing process leaves corned beef very high in sodium, and it carries a fair amount of fat as well.
As a hearty, savory, convenient meat it has plenty of appeal, but the sodium is the reason to keep portions in check — especially for anyone watching their blood pressure. Balancing it with fresh, unsalted sides helps offset the saltiness.
