What is spam and what is spam made of?

Spam can be a mystery meat to most, but to some this canned luncheon meat is probably one of your favorite childhood meals. Growing up, we always had a can of spam in the pantry. My mom cooked so many spam recipes. It was and still is the star of my mom’s famous spam, bacon, and egg fried rice. It’s the secret ingredient in her pastry puff sausage rolls known as sosis brood or Dutch Saucijzenbroodjes. Spam was also one of the easy weeknight meals we’d have as a kid. We’d happily scarf down spam with eggs, rice, and kecap manis or Maggi sauce.

Spam is a canned luncheon meat that was created in 1937. Today, there are 15 different varieties of spam ranging from its original flavor to teriyaki. Did you know that spam is sold in 44 countries and 12.8 cans of spam are eaten every second? According to Hormel Foods, spam is mostly a mixture of ground pork and ham. There are five other ingredients added for flavor and to retain freshness, including salt, water, potato starch, sugar, and sodium nitrate. This mystery meat isn’t such a mystery after all!

How to store spam

Unopened canned spam should be kept in a cool, dry pantry for up to expiration date that is printed on the can packaging. Opened spam should be stored in an air tight container or sandwich bag in the fridge for up to a week. Cooked spam should be stored in the fridge and consumed within 3 to 5 days.

Can you eat spam straight out of the can?

Since spam is a cooked meat, technically it is safe to eat spam straight out of the can. However, and this is a big however, I have personally never tried eating spam straight out of the can. I would highly recommend that spam is either baked, pan fried, or air fried before you consume it. You can even grill or microwave spam (after removing from can of course). The caramelized, crispy bits of fried spam is one of the best parts of enjoying spam! There are so many delicious and easy spam recipes available why eat it straight out of the can?
