Simple pepperoni

[CidahMastah]

I always get to "nitrates" and I decide not to make pepperoni after all. Thanks!

My feeling on nitrates is... you are probably worse off eating the pepporoni than nitrates. If your diet consists of copious amounts of sausages... pretty sure nitrates aren't gonna be your worst fear.

Cured meats are specialty items that should be savored and enjoyed in reasonable quantities. IMO nitrates are perfectly well suited for such foods. Botulism however isn't well suited to humans (or the other way around )

You are also going to consume much larger quantities of nitrates by eating a spinach salad than you would from eating sausage or other cured products.
