At lunch yesterday I had some very nice slices of mortadella cut through with pistachios. On other occasions I have enjoyed small pieces fried although these should come with a warning as to longer term heart problems/cholesterol levels.
However, if you buy a piece from your local butcher or deli then I often find it fatty and unpleasant and so it lurks in the fridge for a while before exiting the house.
What is the truth about mortadella?
I think this is the truth about Mortadella.

The good news: mortadella is a good source of Protein and Selenium.The bad news, It is is high in Saturated Fat and Sodium.
4% Carbs 74% Fats 22% Protein
