Corned Beef facts:
- Corned beef refers to beef that has been preserved and flavored in a brine solution that is usually prepared with salt, which acts as a preservative. Sugar is stirred into the brine solution, which prevents the meat from getting hard due to the presence of the salt.
- Saltpeter is added to the brine solution, which helps to maintain the red coloring of the meat.
- The reason it is called corned beef is because the old English word "corned" was used to describe beef that was cured and the word "corn" describes a small kernel such as the particles of salt that were used.
- Corned beef is available as a sliced deli meat for sandwiches or whole corned beef briskets which are often served with cooked cabbage.
