Ok someone beat me to it, But please be careful with the sodium content in ham, because it can be as much as 1000 mg of sodium for 3 oz. of ham.

What kind of ham is this and where can I get it?

Also, processed foods such as pork have a lot of harmful additives. Better to stick with fresh chicken, fish, turkey.

Many years ago I read an article regarding canned ham and how it just tastes "chemically" and not smoked like a bone-in ham. In the article they said it's because chemical smoke is used but if you want to make it taste just like an old-fashioned ham baste it with vanilla extract! I've been doing that ever since and you would not believe how delicious it is! The ham winds up being a little sweetened but the chemical taste is GONE!
