365 by Whole Foods Market, Ham Honey Maple Sliced Organic, 6 Ounce

I feel bad enough for eating ham- pigs are so smart (and yet so delicious). I feel like the big bad wolf, coming to knock their dreams down. This ham is at least organic and helps with the peace of mind that the piggies aren’t being stuffed with garbage gmos and antibiotics. The maple taste just adds to the yum.

There's this whole philosophical thing about what animals are okay to eat. And religions hang up about pork - probably because pigs are omnivores, which makes the meat different from herbivores' meat. And people hang up about pork, because pigs are really really smart. So it's a little like eating a cousin.And then there's the whole factory farming issue -which this product largely helps fix - the Whole Foods meat model, as long as they adhere to it, helps make sure that the meat doesn't come from animals that are being abused or fed garbage.Which brings us back to pigs being smart omnivores. Here's the truth - and if you watched Deadwood or read Old Yeller, you know it but probably haven't thought about it - shoe on the other foot, a pig would eat YOU in a heartbeat. They would not even wait for you to die.So dig in, apex predator.Seriously, eat mindfully and according to your own inner guidance. If you eat pork, this is less cruel and has fewer additives.

This 365 Whole Foods brand organic honey maple ham (from pork) is thinly sliced deli type meat for sandwiches. My pack had 12 thin slices with no visible fat or icky stuff running through it. The package is resealable, and the ham was fresh and flavorful while not tasting overly salty for me. A serving size is 6-7 slices, which would have quite a lot of salt with 420 mg. But I tend to eat 2 slices at a time, which only has about 140 mg of salt. I mostly like pan frying a couple slices with an egg to make a hot breakfast sandwich.This ham is fully cooked, so there’s no need to heat it and it’s fine for cold sandwiches. It’s uncured so it isn’t preserved with chemical nitrates or nitrites. Instead, celery powder is used so it does have natural nitrates. I had assumed for years that celery powder must be a healthier alternative, but it turns out that may not be the case. Still, I feel better about deli meat preserved that uses celery powder instead of chemicals, but we just eat processed meat in moderation. That issue aside, I like this ham a lot and would buy it again. 4.5 stars.

I always love the 365 deli meats. They taste much better than other national labels. The only complain I have is the label of “easy open and resealable”. The old package yes but the new one it is not the case. It is impossible to peel off from the corner, doesn’t matter how much force you apply the plastic is just glued like rubber seal. You have to use a knife and scissors to cut somewhere. And there is no reseal option like ziploc bag closure.Please redesign

This was so good. I don’t eat much meat, but tasted a small piece while preparing sandwiches because it was falling apart a little bit. I’m hooked. So tasty! Not overly salty tasting, but delicious flavor. Tasted like I baked a ham. I’m actually leaving a review because I want to remember which kind I got in the future. Definitely worth buying again.

I enjoyed the Ham Honey Slices

Just exactly what is uncured ham? There was no instruction with this. Is it cooked or raw? Can I use this raw in a sandwich without killing myself, or does it have to be cooked? I still have no idea if I can eat it without cooking or not. It will probably just stay in my refrigerator until it goes moldy, like the veggies I buy with all the best intentions to add to my poor diet. I just seem to be supporting the farmers, with all the veggies I don't use in time.A SIMPLE sentence on the ham wrapper, like, " delicious in a sandwich, without adding those nitrates to your diet" would have done wonders. Sorry if I'm stupid, but cancer radiation treatment had compromised my immune system, and I'm very leery about washing my dishes twice or so, so far be it for me to just try it...

Tastes great, needs to be a little thicker though.
