Thomas J  McCabe

Recently, I had the opportunity to eat Hillshire Farm Deli Select Brown Sugar Baked Ham for the first time and I enjoyed eating the product very much. This packaged meat product is quite tasty and conveniently packaged.

Presented here, in an effort to assist the consumer, is an article which reviews and examines Hillshire Farm Deli Select Brown Sugar Baked Ham.

Size
The net weight of the standard sized pacjkage of Hillshire Farm Deli Select Brown Sugar Baked Ham is five ounces. According to the product's nutrition facts label, holds about 2.5 six slice (57 grams) servings.

When I first saw the package, I thought that it would provide me with enough meat for one good-sized sandwich, but as it turns out, I received about 2.5 servings.

Price
The regular retail price charged for one five ounce package of Hillshire Farm Deli Select Brown Sugar Baked Ham at most major supermarkets ranges between $2.29 and $2.59.

Texture / Consistency
This sliced ham offers a very pleasing texture. The slices are nice and thin and they basically separate easily, but it is best to separate the slices gently, otherwise they might tear.

These brown sugar baked ham slices are lean and do not contain any fat, filler or unpleasant matter. The overall mouth feel offered by these ham slices is quite satisfying.

Nutritional Facts
Hillshire Farm Deli Select Brown Sugar Baked Ham contains 60 calories, with 10 calories from fat, per six slice serving. This sliced ham also contains 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams trans fat, 1.5 grams total fat, 30 mg of cholesterol, 680 mg of sodium, 3 grams total carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 3 grams of sugars and 9 grams of protein, per six slice serving.

Taste / Flavor
What a great tasting ham this is. The basic ham is a quite tasty, with a real baked flavor to begin with and the brown sugar flavoring adds another dimension of flavor to the ham. Hillshire Farm Deli Select Brown Sugar Baked Ham is mildly sweet and the brown sugar flavor accentuates rather than overpowers the baked ham.

On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign this product a rating of 9.25.

Packaging
Hillshire Farm Deli Select Brown Sugar Baked Ham is packaged in a small red cardboard box that features a little see through window on the front. Inside the box, the turkey is further packaged in a clear, sealed plastic pouch which needs to be cut open.

The size of the box is convenient and it stores easily, but it would be an improvement if the inner bag featured a re-sealable opening. The front label on the box shows an illustration of a magnificent ham sandwich and the rear label lists all pertinent ingredient and nutritional information.

Overall Rating
This variety of ham is very tasty and is free of fat and other unpleasantries. It is not necessarily inexpensive, but it is also not exorbitantly over- priced. The product definitely serves a purpose. If you're shopping at a store that does not contain a fresh deli and you're looking for some tasty sandwich meat, Hillshire Farm Deli Select Brown Sugar Baked Ham is a very good alternative. This thinly sliced ham is a recommended item.
