Over Lent, when no pork was consumed, hams were left to cure. The hams were ready by Easter, and ham became a popular Easter tradition.

Today, many households look forward to their “Easter ham,” but the decision is more complex: There is quite an array of different ham types and styles.

Do you know your ham? If not, you might not be purchasing the type that’s best for you. You need to know why:

• You’d want a bone-in ham over a boneless ham, or vice versa.
• If a spiral cut ham is your best bet.
• If you should consider a fresh ham versus a cured ham.
• If you’d prefer a city ham or a country ham.

It has (almost) everything you want to know about lemons:

• Lemon history (they originated near the foothills of the Himalayas)
• The different types of lemons (can you name even two?)
• Nutrition and health benefits, plus kitchen tips.You’ll even find our favorite recipe for homemade lemonade.

  The Lemon Glossary is one of more than 70 food glossaries developed by THE NIBBLE editors. You’ll find everything from an Antioxidant Foods Glossary and Artificial & Natural Sweeteners Glossary to a Waffle Glossary and Yogurt Glossary.

Can you name this type of lemon? It’s one of
the two “supermarket lemons.” There’s no
generic “lemon” any more than there is a generic “apple.”

People will beg for these veggies!
