About El cubano
El Cubano is a classic sandwich originating from Cuban cuisine, celebrated for its bold flavors and hearty composition. Traditionally, it consists of sliced roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and yellow mustard, all layered inside pressed Cuban bread, which is similar to a baguette but slightly sweeter. The sandwich is then toasted until hot and crispy, enhancing its signature texture and taste. El Cubano is a protein-rich meal thanks to its generous portions of pork and ham, and the pickles add a satisfying crunch while providing a source of probiotics. However, it is higher in sodium content due to the cured meats and mustard, and the buttery pressing process can increase its fat content depending on preparation methods. While indulgent, enjoying El Cubano in moderation allows you to savor a delicious slice of Cuban culinary tradition without compromising overall health goals.
